make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1
 

I have installed httpd-2.2.3-31.el5.centos on a centos machine with the following command : ./configure --enable-so then make and make install were successful. then i installed MySQL server client and development packages and everything went great as well. my problem began when i wanted to install php 5.3 i didn't have any problem with ./configure whoever when i perform a MAKE the following error occurs

make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1

i have tried another php source code for version 5.2 and the same problem happens again. i have even tried to rename the

cd /usr/lib/mysql
rename .a .a_old *.a
rename .la .la_old *.la

and tried to build again and the same problem happens again.

what shall i do? please anyone can help me solve this problem?

thank you in advance :)

An example php-5.3 source package, the php-5.3.0-6.fc12.src.rpm
comes with 14 patches and uses seventy (70 !) of the configure
options. Building the packages ..

Not all information in the post is uptodate,
I guess the 31 dependencies are still the same.
( I had no errors compiling php-5.3 ).

Packages, php-5.3.x are available from the remi.repo

Thank you that was really helpful, i was able to successfully troubleshoot the problem by installing MySQL-Shared package then i have tried to build again and it went smooth :) so for those who have the same problem and want to provide php support to mysql make sure to install the following before the php installation

1- Mysql-server
2- Mysql-client
3- Mysql-Development
4- Mysql-shared
5- and of course apache
