Hi,
I'm currently trying to install a more web friendly PHP install to overwrite the less than useful PHP 4.3.9 install that doesn't know about anything web at all on my hosting. (phpmyadmin 2.9.2 complains: "Could not load either mysql or mysqli extension, you might not be able to use phpMyAdmin! Check your PHP configuration.")
After I extract the .gz I followed their INSTALL instructions to just run the following and got this useless error:
[root@host php-4.4.6]# ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for egrep... grep -E
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -I/usr/include/rote -I/usr/include/httpd) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
I just compiled a hello world C file and got an a.out just fine, so this is obviously some other issue that it's having, I'm just at a loss as to what it is.
Versions on a few things: gcc version 3.4.6, libtool version 1.5.6, Apache 2.0.52
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
