When running make, after some lines it stops with the error:

ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libs/libphp5.bundle] Error 1

Have you installed MySQL using the source compilation method as described in the MySQL document set?

Otherwise I need to see more of the output to see where the error occurred

Well that's the other problem I'm having. I posted as Jared on the MYSQL compile for Leopard 64 bit. I did install the binary and then am trying to compile and am, I believe, running form the proper source. I did, however install and use the latest 5.1 but still get the /.configure error that it can't be found. I'll look again and let you know. Thank you for the help.

We'll you need to use the 5.0.x version of MySQL to get everything working properly. I'm still working on a proper install procedure for 5.1.x

Was this issue ever resolved I am getting the same error. I’ve successfully installed php5 off the guides then I went back and tried adding the mcrypt and GD module. Those installed successfully but now that I try recompiling php5 I get the following error after MAKE

/usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: Undefined symbols:
_png_check_sig
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libs/libphp5.bundle] Error 1

These are the configurations I used:

./configure –prefix=/usr/local/php5 \
–mandir=/usr/share/man \
–infodir=/usr/share/info \
–sysconfdir=/etc \
–with-config-file-path=/etc \
–with-zlib \
–with-zlib-dir=/usr \
–with-openssl \
–without-iconv \
–enable-exif \
–enable-ftp \
–enable-mbstring \
–enable-mbregex \
–enable-sockets \
–with-gd \
–with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib \
–with-png-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
–with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
–with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
–with-mcrypt \
–with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
–with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
–with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config \
–with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

Any idea what it could be. Thanks in advance.

Roberto, do you get the same error using php 5.2.x ?

Otherwise try the tip mentioned on http://www.bill.eccles.net/bills_words/2010/01/building-a-mac-os-x-server-106.html

No Im using PHP 5.3.1. I will try tips on the link.
