RE: [PHP-INST] PDFlib woes

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss! Andrew, you rule. Ok, so I played with it again tonight and heres what I found, an FYI for anybody else looking for pdflib help. I got php-4.0.5 and built pdflib-4.0.0 with './configure' \ '--enable-cxx' \ '--enable-shared' \ '--enable-shared-pdflib' did make, make install and both make and make install complained that there is no makefile in pdflib-4.0.0/bind/php. It works anyway, so dont worry bout it. Then in php I used --with-pdflib=/usr/local and it works. Thanks so much for this groups help! - Russ Andrew Apold <mordru@adelphia.net> said: > At 10:16 PM 4/30/01 -0000, php-install@toolshed51.com wrote: > > > > > > > > > >Hello! > >I configure, build, install pdflib and then as per the instructions I > found I > >configure php with-pdflib=../pdflib.4.0.0 (the path to the install dir).
