Hi!

I just wanted to test Symfony on a Fedora Distribution. As it turns
out
Symfony does not work out of the box. At least if one wants to try the
Tutorial which needs SQLite.

On Fedora, PHP is compiled without the built-in SQLite-Support.
Instead
the default installation loads the PDO and PDO_sqlite extensions. The
problem here is that Symfony's DB layer requires direct SQLite Support
via sqlite.so, not PDO_sqlite.

The command

$ php symfony propel-insert-sql

from the tutorial will fail, even though PHP has SQLite-Support (via
PDO) enabled. The following error message occurs:

wrapped: sqlite extension not loaded

Searching the forum, I have found many related problems. The reason
for
many of these problems lies in two different php.ini files being used.
In the case of a Fedora distribution this is not the case.

The only way to get the tutorial working on a recent Fedora
Distribution
 (F8) is to hack the SQLite code manually as explained in this thread:

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-59802.html

My Question now is, what would be the best way to get a better
compatibility with a fedora system. Symfony by itself is supported by
Fedora but the tutorial is not running out-of-the-box which, I
suppose,
discourages the use of Symfony on this distribution.

So: Should I file a bug report on Fedora here or is this a problem
which
Symfony could solve better if PDO_sqlite would be supported?

Best regards!
Christian
