Hey Guys,
I have a new box setup running Slackware 10.2. I chose to not have it install the MySQL and PHP from the CDs.
I have installed mysql-max-5.0.21-linux-i686 using the precompiled binaries from mysql's site. This is installed to /usr/local. I created the link /usr/local/mysql/ -> /usr/local/mysql-max-5.0.21-linux-i686/ so that I can just use /usr/local/mysql/bin, ../data, etc.
Anywho mysql is started and working because I can use the command line mysql to connect and execute 'SHOW DATABASES', etc.
My configure line is:
travis@slack:~/php-5.1.4$ './configure' '--enable-so' '--enable-filepro' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/' '--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-config=/usr/local/lib' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-blowfish' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-kerberos' '--with-xml' '--with-gettext'
It fails:
checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient... no
checking for mysql_error in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: mysql configure failed. Please check config.log for more information.
I can attach the config.log if needed, but didnt want to for space reasons.
Thanks
