Configure error of PHP 5.2.6 with mysql support on RHEL 5.2 x86-64


When trying to configure php 5.2.6 with mysql support on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 with the options below:

Code:
# ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs 
--enable-magic-quotes --enable-sigchild --enable-calendar 
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf --with-openssl 
--with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client64/lib 
--with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql/ –with-libdir=lib64 
--with-zlib-dir
I get the following error:

Code:
... (truncated)...
checking whether to include mime_magic support... no
checking for MING support... no
checking for mSQL support... no
checking for MSSQL support via FreeTDS... no
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.
Any help?

Thanks.

The first thing to do is check config.log for more information. Without seeing that I would guess that you might not have the MySQL source files in a standard place. Did you install MySQL from a package or from source?

MySQL was installed from the bundled package of RHEL 5.2.

I guess this is a problem related to 64 bit. The exact same settings worked on 32 bit version of RHEL 5. But I need to get this working on 64 bit.

When compiling PHP on CentOS 5.2 64bit (essentially the same as RHEL 5.2) with the RPM-provided MySQL I use:

--with-mysql=/usr

Also, check that you have the mysql-devel package installed and that there is a socket file (mysql.sock) in /var/lib/mysql/

Thanks A LOT buddy!!! You have saved me hours of wasted time. Thanks again to you.

--with-mysql=/usr instead of --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql/ got it done.
