RE: [PHP-INST] compiling php

Good point. And it reminds me of something else: I don't think the PHP configure script >>dies<< if it can't find the mysql libraries. It just prints out a warning message, which you can miss if you don't scan the output from configure. That probably ought to be changed. When everything is okay, the PHP configure script prints out an "okay to proceed" message. If you don't see that, you've got a problem with mysql. - Mark -----Original Message----- From: Student7 SNT [mailto:stude7@nortelnetworks.com] Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 2:32 AM To: mark@arcabama.com; php-install@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-INST] compiling php Hi, Well, if MySQL wasn't running, you'd get a different error (like "can't connect to....."). The actual error indicates that the MySQL function have not been installed in the binary, most probably because it failed to find the relevant libraries. I'm pretty sure the configure script ought to die if you run it with misleading parameters, but I'm not sure. Try running Configure --with-mysql make clean make make install or Configure --with-msql=/usr/local make clean make make install Either of those should sort your problem out.
