HI, I'm building php4.4.9 on centos 5.2 x64, and I need it to use the systems mysql libs, not the bundled ones.... ./configure --with-libdir=lib64 --with-dbx --with-openssl --with-pcre --with-pgsql --with-posix \ --with-xml --with-zlib --with-gd=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-bcmath --enable-fastcgi \ --disable-ipv6 --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-bz2 --enable-ftp --with-apxs2 --with-iconv \ --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-ttf --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr --with-png \ --with-mysql=/usr --prefix=/usr/local and all i'm getting is this: 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. this is what is going on in config.log: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so when searching for -lmysqlclient /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a when searching for -lmysqlclient /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient I've tried sooo many config combinations. config finishes if using bundled mysql libs, but thats not enough... =(... Any hope on this? Has anybody solved this before? Thanks in advance! # rpm -qa | grep mysql mysql-5.0.45-7.el5 mysql-devel-5.0.45-7.el5 mysql-devel-5.0.45-7.el5 mysql-5.0.45-7.el5 -- Best Regards, Ivan Levchenko levchenko.i at gmail.com
