Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find this exact problem either in the installation instructions or the user addenda to the installation instructions on www.php.net.
We are building php against the copy of mysql which comes with the latest solaris 8 installation. mysql and it's supporting files live in /opt/sfw/mysql These are my configuration options: ./configure --prefix=/apps/apache/extensions/php --exec-prefix=/apps/apache/exten sions/php --bindir=/apps/apache/extensions/php/bin --sbindir=/apps/apache/extensi ons/php/sbin --libexecdir=/apps/apache/libexec --datadir=/apps/apache/extensions/ php/share --with-config-file-path=/apps/apache/extensions/php/lib/ --sysconfdir=/ apps/apache/extensions/php/etc --sharedstatedir=/apps/apache/extensions/php/com - -libdir=/apps/apache/extensions/php/lib/php --includedir=/apps/apache/extensions/ php/include --with-config-file-path=/apps/apache/extensions/php/lib --srcdir=. -- infodir=/apps/apache/extensions/php/info --enable-track-vars --with-apxs=/usr/apa che/bin/apxs -with-mysql=/opt/sfw/mysql --enable-cli The only change in this and the php build I do frequently is the path to mysql, and the absence of the oracle paths which were needed in our past installations. ============================================================================== This is the error from make gcc: /opt/sfw/mysql/lib/mysql/.libs/libmysqlclient.so: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `php' Current working directory /nfs/src/sources/voyagers/php/php-4.2.2/sapi/cli *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive' Current working directory /nfs/src/sources/voyagers/php/php-4.2.2/sapi/cli *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive' ============================================================================== Note the odd library path to libmysqlclient.so The actual path is of course: /opt/sfw/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so Thanks, Larry -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
