No matter what i tried it kept giving me the "Directory /usr/local/freetds is not a FreeTDS installation directory". I ended up coping some files. wich resulted in a working mssql extension. It's a hack. But for me it worked.
I configured freeTDS with the following config options: ./configure --with-tdsver=7.0 --enable-msdblib --enable-dbmfix --with-gnu-ld --enable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/usr/local/freetds And after make && make install; i copied the following files. cp [tds source]/include/tds.h /usr/local/freetds/include cp [tds source]src/tds/.libs/libtds.a /usr/local/freetds/lib Then i configured php with --with-mssql=shared,/usr/local/freetds Hope it helps. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
