Hi,

Having no joy compiling PHP on Leopard. Previous manage to install both Apache and MySQL. The configure script exits with the following:

checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no
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 ran config with the following settings:


/configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 \
> --mandir=/usr/share/man \
> --infodir=/usr/share/info \
> --sysconfdir=/etc \
> --with-zlib \
> --with-zlib-dir=/usr \
> --with-openssl \
> --enable-exif \
> --enable-ftp \
> --enable-mbstring \
> --enable-mbregex \
> --enable-sockets \
> --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
> --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config \
> --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

Does anyone have idea what my maybe wrong with my MySQL setup that cause PHP to fail to compile?

TIA,

clify

Could you post the output of the mysql_config command ?

not to hijack this (but I will as the last post on this thread was in May) I have the same issue. I'm running MySQL 5.0.51b

I was trying to upgrade my php install to 5.2.8 (from 5.2.6) and got the exact same error as the OP. Here is my output of mysql_config:

Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lm]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [5.0.51b]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lm]

Could you mail me the config.log file from the 5.2.8 php source directory just to see where and perhaps why it went wrong ?

richard,

I sent this as requested. Thanks for your help.

The MySQL installation was 64 bits while trying to compile PHP as 32 bits application.

what is the solution to this ?
can php be compiled in 64bit as well ?

thanx

Yes, that is possible: rad http://diymacserver.com/2008/10/04/update-on-64-bits-compilation/ for more info.
