Dear all,
I am to set up a LAMPS system
(Red Hat 7.3, Apache 1.3.29, MySQL 4.0.18, PHP 4.3.4).
When trying to configure PHP with the follwing command:
./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.29
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
--with-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt_2_5_7/libmcrypt-2.5.7
... I got this:
****
configure: error: Try adding --with-zlib-dir=<DIR>. Please check config.log
for more information.
****
... looking into the config.log:
****
configure:55357: checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient
configure:55376: gcc -o
conftest -g -O2 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql/lib -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -Wl
,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib
conftest.c -lmysqlclient -lmcrypt -lltdl -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:

#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
char mysql_close();
int main() {
mysql_close()
; return 0; }
configure:55738: checking for mysql_errno in -lmysqlclient
configure:55757: gcc -o
conftest -g -O2 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql/lib -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -Wl

the solution
-------------------------------
Then I visited
http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/mcrypt/index.html
an learned that I have to install not only libmcrypt
but also mcrypt and libmhash.
Here is the to do:
libmcrytp:
-----------
download libmcrypt-xxx.tar.gz
create the following directory: / usr / local / libmcrypt
copy the libmcrypt-xxx.tar.gz into that directory and move to it
run the following shell (>) commands: ('xxx' is the version number)
> gunzip -c libmcrypt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xf -
> cd libmcrypt-xxx
> ./configure --disable-posix-threads
> make
> make check (note: 'make check' is optional)
> make install
then (update your environment) add in / etc / profile the following path:
/usr/local/libmcrypt/libmcrypt-xxxx
(note: as I run Red Hat 7.3 I set the line a f t e r the if-part
(id -u = 0 ...) with: pathmunge /usr/local / libm....)
and add in / etc / ld.so.conf the following path: /usr/local/lib
then run ldconfig:
> ldconfig
now comes the important part:
> cd /usr/local/libmcrypt/libmcrypt-xxx/libltdl
> ./configure --enable-ltdl-install
> make
> make install
(maybe not needed: I also added a link in / usr / bin: )
(> cd /usr/bin)
(> ln -s /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3.1.0 ltdl)
mhash:
-----------
download mhash-xxx.tar.gz
create the following directory: / usr / local / mhash
copy the mhash-xxx.tar.gz into that directory and move to it
run the following shell (>) commands: ('xxx' is the version number)
> gunzip -c mhash-xxx.tar.gz | tar xf -
> cd mhash-xxx
> ./configure
> make
> make check (note: 'make check' is optional)
> make install
mcrypt:
-----------
download mcrypt-xxx.tar.gz
create the following directory: / usr / local / mcrypt
copy the mcrypt-xxx.tar.gz into that directory and move to it
run the following shell (>) commands: ('xxx' is the version number)
> gunzip -c mcrypt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xf -
> cd mhash-xxx
> ./configure
> make
> make check (note: 'make check' is optional)
> make install
back to PHP:
--------------
move into your PHP installation directory
then the following command worked on my computer:
>
./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.29 --with-mysql --wit
h-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt/mcrypt-2.6.4
> make
> make install
--------------
that�s it
Hopefully that will help you to save some hours deep in the night :-)
Does anyone has an advice for the following:
I would like to specify the mysql directory
ith: --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql-xxx
But then I always get an error message that lmysqlclient files cannot be
found.
Greetings
Klaus
