[PHP-INSTALL] Building 5.2.12 w/MySQL on RedHat 64bit

[Rob Tanner]

Hi,

I am trying to build PHP 5.2.12 on RHEL ES5 (the latest and greatest Redhat)
64bit. Why do I want to build PHP when Redhat includes PHP? The distro
includes PHP 5.1.6 and our CMS (ModX) doesn¹t get along with 5.1.6 because
of errors in the PDO layer.

Now that I¹ve gotten that off my chest, when I run the configure, I get the
error:

checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!

The libmysqlclient libs are in /usr/lib64 and not /usr/lib (which contains
32 bit libs).

I have tried simply ‹with-mysql, ‹with-mysql=/usr/lib64 and
‹with-mysql=/usr/lib64/mysql. Any idea how to successfully tell configure
where to look?

Thanks,
Rob

Where are the header files? If you don't have the libs and headers
under a single top dir, then you will have to munge the
ext/mysql/config.m4 file to fix the check. Or symlink appropriately.

The distro includes PHP 5.1.6 and our CMS (ModX) doesn’t get along with
5.1.6 because of errors in the PDO layer.
Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, when I run the configure, I get
checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!
The libmysqlclient libs are in /usr/lib64 and not /usr/lib (which
contains 32 bit libs).
I have tried simply —with-mysql, —with-mysql=/usr/lib64 and
—with-mysql=/usr/lib64/mysql. Any idea how to successfully tell
configure where to look?

Header files are in /usr/include/mysql and the libraries are in
/usr/lib64/mysql

Yeah, that won't work. --with-mysql expects to see both under the same
top dir. You'll have to symlink it.
