I am moving to a new box and want to install php with pdflib

again.

After configure I get an error saying: pdflib.h not found! Check the path passed to --with-pdflib The path is just fine: '--with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib'

configure needs to find TWO things: #1 the "lib" file which is libpdf.so in /usr/local/lib #2 the "header" file which is libpdf.h in /usr/local/include If you tell configure to look inside of /usr/local/lib, it can't *find* the libpdf.h file, because it's not inside that directory, it's inside a directory parallel to that. If you tell configure to look in /usr/local, it "knows" to check in /usr/local/lib for the .so file, and in /usr/local/include for the .h file, and it finds everything it needs.

It won't, because his headers are in /usr/local/lib, and not in /usr/include/header If his headers are in /usr/local/lib, I'll be very very very surprised... They shouldn't be there. Move them.

He hasn't replied yet, and i was also confused, but in his first post he said this:

ls /usr/local/lib/pdflib.* /usr/local/lib/pdflib.h

Of course, moving them is the best way, however, sometimes it gives problems with other things, so i guess creating a symlink here would be better Tijnema
