From browsing the archives, it looks like getting pdflib into php takes luck and persistence to achieve the magical configure options, and I'm running low on both. I'm trying to get pdflib 4.0.1 to work with php 4.0.6 and apache 1.3.20 on mac osx 10.0.3 php and apache work great and I'm eager to get pdflib up and running. It seems that my attempts fail in one of two ways: if I don't set the php configure option --with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib (with the complete directory like that), then configure stops at pdf_show_boxed with the error: "pdflib extension requires at least pdflib 3.x. You may also need libtiff and libjpeg." The config.log shows this error: "/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libpdf.dylib is input for the dynamic link editor, is not relocatable by the static link editor again" (/usr/lib/libpdf.dylib is a symbolic link I made to /usr/local/lib/libpdf.dylib), which is odd, since it would seem to be finding the right directory. If I do set the option --with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib, then everything builds just fine, but there doesn't seem to be any pdflib functionality in php. I saw a couple references to listing libpdf_php.so in the php.ini file. On mac osx I would assume this to be libpdf_php.dylib instead, but I don't find either of these anywhere. Another reference said to download this file as a binary and install it manually, but there is no binary pdflib with php support listed for mac osx. Hmm. There it is. Any ideas, suggestions? Here are my latest configure options for pdflib: ./configure --enable-php --enable-cxx --enable-shared-pdflib --enable-static --enable-shared and my latest attempt for php: ./configure --with-xml --with-zlib --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-openssl --enable-trans-sid --with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib --enable-shared=pdflib --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-jpeg- dir=/usr/local --with-tiff-dir=/usr/local
