Re: [PHP] FDF support in RedHat (make error)
I didn't read the fine manual. Where in the manual says: [move fdftk.h to /usr/local/includes and libfdftk.so to /usr/local/lib]? Huh? The manual only says: manual source=php.net/fdf Note: If you run into problems configuring PHP with fdftk support, check whether the header file fdftk.h and the library libfdftk.so are at the right place. The configure script supports both the directory structure of the FDF SDK distribution and the usual DIR/include / DIR/lib layout, so you can point it either directly to the unpacked distribution directory or put the header file and the appropriate library for your platform into e.g. /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib and configure with --with-fdftk=/usr/local. /manual It *assumes* that you now that what_ever_file.h is an include and it goes into DIR/Include and what_ever_file.so is an object (module, library?) and it goes into DIR/lib and that DIR is /usr/local. More questions/comments about this stuff: If the manual says fdftk.h is a header file, why it should be in the includes directory as opposed to the headers directory? If libfdftk.so goes into the lib directory, it should be called libfdftk.lib! Whats the meaning of .so? Standard Object? Where is the unpacked distribution directory?

RE: [PHP] FDF support in RedHat (make error)
[snip] Then, I issued a make command and unfortunately I got a new error: /usr/include/ucd-snmp/asn1.h:7:2 Please update your headers or configuer using --enable-ucd-snmp-compatibility Then all hell break lose, got tons of errors (ver like this one) and exit the make with error 1. [/snip] http://us3.php.net/snmp may help. Essentially you need to add --enable-ucd-snmp-compatibility to your configure line and re-run it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] FDF support in RedHat (make error)
Exactly! I agree with you 100%. That's why, even if you RTFM, google your question and search the archives, you need to ask some (very basic) questions to the list. Questions like: If the manual says fdftk.h is a header file, why it should be in the includes directory as opposed to the headers directory? For me this is a very intelligent question (and advanced too) because I have no idea of linux or compilers. (or as a metter of fact, what is a .h file). So I think, a list is the best place to ask questions: basic, stupid, off topic, advanced or what ever. If you want to anwer them ok, if you don't, thats ok too. Just MHO!
