Heya all!

I have Suse 9.1 with PHP 4.3.7/Apache2 installed.

My php build looks like this:

'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--enable-exif' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-png-dir=/usr/lib' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-xml' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-mhash' '--with-iconv' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-ming-dir=/usr/lib' '--enable-ming'

I know there is some bogus stuff in it but at least the ./configure ran smoothly without giving me any errors.

the problem is, that I cannot get ming to work with php.

I downloaded the latest ditribution at sourceforge.net and trying to install it via make/make install. It exists with the following:

*********************************

install: cannot stat `libming.so.0.3beta1': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-dynamic] Error 1
********************************

then I installed the rpm-packages (ming and libming) succesfully using Webmin but when I try to build php again it tells me that libming.(a|so) could not be found and that I should reinstall ming again, which doesn't work as written above.

What am I doing wrong?
when I do a "find / -name *ming*" on the shell I get these results among others:

****************
/usr/lib/libming.so.0
/usr/lib/libming.so.0.2
/usr/lib/libming.so.0.3
****************

so the directive --with-ming=/usr/lib when building the php conf should work, or am I totally wrong? well.... indeed, it doesn't work...

any ideas? I'm quite desperate right now as I really would like to use the SWF-Functions within PHP.

Thanks in advance!
Bernhard

anyone?
