PHP5.0.0RC3 on Fedora Core 2
 

Hi.

I'm trying to install/build PHP5.0.0RC3 on my Fedora Core 2 installation...

I have installed the httpd-devel package (with up2date) and I have copied the header files in the include folder in "mysqlxxxx.tar.gz" to /usr/include/mysql.

Then, in the folder where I untared the PHP5.0.0RC3.tar.gz file, I'm trying to run: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2 --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib

After a while it stops with the following error message:
configure: error: mysql configure failed. Please check config.log for more information.

What is wrong? Please help.

Try stopping the mysqld service befor you configure or make php5.

I've never had to stop MySQL before compiling a new PHP, and there shouldn't be any way a running MySQL process can interfere with the configuration. Did you check the config.log like the message says? What does it say?

I don't know if you have solved yet, but I just did a mysql and then php installation and got the same error as you using "--with-mysql" and this has happened twice now, when I change to" --with-MySQL" the configuration finds the header files and is successfull. Good luck.
