Ok, I may do that. Thanks for the tip. Brion Vibber wrote:

Most libraries on Mac OS X only ship as 32-bit. Since these are standard open-source components you could probably recompile them and link against those instead of the system copies; but do you really need to compile PHP as 64-bit in the first place? Unless you really want 64-bit integers in PHP for some reason, you could simply link against the 32-bit MySQL libraries. (Install a 32-bit package in another directory, if they're not shipping them with the 64-bit server.) Communication with the server happens over a socket, so you don't have to compile as the same arch as the server. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
