configuring php on suse7.1

[Anon]

Can someone offer any advice...

I have succesfully installed mysql 3.23.38 and apache 1.3.20 on suse linux 7.1 but when it comes to php 4.0.5 i reach a problem.

Decompressing the tar.gz file and cd into the php directory go as planned, then i try to configure php with apache and mysql with following command..

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/ \
--with-apache=../apache \

but errors begin to pour out..

checking for working aclocal .. missing
autolocal .. missing
auto make ..

with finally

configure : error : cannot find output from lex ; giving up

any insights from the group would be kindly appreciated

Well, this has something to do with a missing package!

And I thing, that GNU Automake is missing on your system. Start YaST and search for a package called automake or so. Install it and try again. I had a different package, which was missing, but I don't know which. I say that because it isn't installed as sdandard.

hope this helpes you
