I had the same trouble with building pdflib and it was because of static libraries in
pdflib and the components when I built it some months ago. There wasn't any mention
of building the components shared, and the only error messages I received were that
you needed pdflib 3.x or higher. Somehow I realized I needed the shared libraries. I
didn't take notes at the time, but below are my ./configure commands for everything
except libpng (which I think builds a .so library). Hope this helps.
Incidentally, once you get it working, you're in for a whole new challenge with IE and
it's handling of .pdf files. It's pretty ugly, but as a tip you'll need:
$length = filesize($tempFname);
header("Content-Length: $length");
in addition to header("Content-type: application/pdf");
php
-------
#
# ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/path/to/apache/apxs
--with-gd=/usr/local/gd1.3 --with-pdflib=/usr/local
--with-png-dir=/usr/local --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local
--with-tiff-dir=/usr/local
jpeg-6b
-------
# ./configure --enable-shared
PDFlib V3.03
------------
# ./configure --with-pnglib=/usr/local --with-tifflib=/usr/local
--enable-shared-pdflib
Apache
-------
./configure \
"--enable-shared=max"
Hope this helps.
