Hi Chris, I started to study the config.log file more in deep. The kick-out error was:
**** conftest.c -lmysqlclient -lmcrypt -lltdl -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl 1>&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl **** Then I visited http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/mcrypt/index.html an learned that I have to install not only libmcrypt but also mcrypt and libmhash. Afte installing libmcrypt it was essential to move into the "./libltdl" folder and type the following shell commands: > ./configure --enable-ltdl-install > make > make install After that configuring PHP with ./configure --with-apache=... --with-mysql=... --with-mcrypt=... worked. hurra Thanks a lot for your support Klaus "Chris Hewitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Bottom posting... > klaus wrote: > > >Hi Mike, > > > >thanks for your response. > > > >Initially I just took: > >./configure --with-apache=... --with-mysql=... --with-mcrypt=... > > > >The trials including > > --with-zlib-dir=... > >or > > --with-zlib=... > > > >also failed. > > > >Do you or anyone else have an idea? > > > >Greetings > >Klaus > > > > > >"Mike Beck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag > >news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >klaus wrote: > > > >>Dear all, > >> > >>I am to set up a LAMPS system > >>(Red Hat 7.3, Apache 1.3.29, MySQL 4.0.18, PHP 4.3.4). > >> > >>When trying to configure PHP with the follwing command: > >> > >> ./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.29 > >> > >> --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql > >> > >> --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt_2_5_7/libmcrypt-2.5.7 > >> > >> > >>...
