Re: [PHP-INSTALL] Failed to compile x86_64 version of php5

Hello;

I justed faced a similar problem earlier this week. I was able to
get PHP to compile with Sybase and MySQLi but not MySQL. Either it
could not find the header files, or the file you listed below, or
something else. I made symbolic links from lib directories to the
/usr/local/mysq/lib used with --mysql=/usr/local/mysql and installed
the mysql dev library by running

> yum
install mysql-devel.

(Any RPM based install should work)

Installing the development library is what work for me, and few other
people I read about on line. Seems like PHP is expected something
different and this seems common in some 64 bit setups.

Hope it helps

Hi, all

I'm trying to compile php5 on dreamhost, after doing what http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Installing_PHP5
says, I have compiled all the components except php5 itself.

When running $ ./configure ${PHPFEATURES}, it reports an error

configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr.

Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!

But actually I find that /usr/lib64/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0
exists. After some googling I added a --with-libdir=lib64 to the
configure parameters. But this time another error appears

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config

configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's li

I don't know how to make configure find both libraries. Many
thanks for your replies.
