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

Welcome to LQ. .. ..

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

./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr/local/php-5.1.4 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --enable-ftp --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/libxml2-2.6.24 --with-png-dir=/usr/local/libpng-1.2.8-config --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.3/ --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib64/ --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/freetype-2.2.1

open Makefile
find for
"/usr/local/lib"
and replace with "/usr/lib64"
