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


... I got this:

****
configure: error: Try adding --with-zlib-dir=<DIR>. Please check config.log
for more information.
****


... looking into the config.log:

****
configure:55357: checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient
configure:55376: gcc -o
conftest -g -O2  -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql/lib -L/usr/local/mysql/lib  -Wl

  the solution
-------------------------------
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.

Here is the to do:

libmcrytp:
-----------
download libmcrypt-xxx.tar.gz
create the following directory:  / usr / local / libmcrypt
copy the libmcrypt-xxx.tar.gz into that directory and move to it
run the following shell (>) commands:  ('xxx' is the version number)
> gunzip -c libmcrypt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xf -
> cd libmcrypt-xxx
> ./configure --disable-posix-threads
> make
> make check  (note:  'make check' is optional)
> make install
then (update your environment) add in / etc / profile the following path:
/usr/local/libmcrypt/libmcrypt-xxxx
(note:  as I run Red Hat 7.3 I  set the line   a f t e r   the if-part
(id -u = 0 ...) with: pathmunge /usr/local / libm....)
and add in / etc / ld.so.conf the following path:  /usr/local/lib
then run ldconfig:
> ldconfig
now comes the important part:
> cd /usr/local/libmcrypt/libmcrypt-xxx/libltdl
> ./configure --enable-ltdl-install
> make
> make install

(maybe not needed:  I also added a link in / usr / bin: )
(> cd /usr/bin)
(> ln -s /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3.1.0 ltdl)



mhash:
-----------
download mhash-xxx.tar.gz
create the following directory:  / usr / local / mhash
copy the mhash-xxx.tar.gz into that directory and move to it
run the following shell (>) commands:  ('xxx' is the version number)
> gunzip -c mhash-xxx.tar.gz | tar xf -
> cd mhash-xxx
> ./configure
> make
> make check   (note:  'make check' is optional)
> make install


mcrypt:
-----------
download mcrypt-xxx.tar.gz
create the following directory:  / usr / local / mcrypt
copy the mcrypt-xxx.tar.gz into that directory and move to it
run the following shell (>) commands:  ('xxx' is the version number)
> gunzip -c mcrypt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xf -
> cd mhash-xxx
> ./configure
> make
> make check   (note:  'make check' is optional)
> make install


back to PHP:
--------------
move into your PHP installation directory
then the following command worked on my computer:
>
./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache/apache_1.3.29 --with-mysql --wit
h-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt/mcrypt-2.6.4
> make
> make install

--------------
thatīs it

Hopefully that will help you to save some hours deep in the night :-)


Does anyone has an advice for the following:

I would like to specify the mysql directory
ith:  --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql-xxx
But then I always get an error message that lmysqlclient files cannot be
found.

Greetings
Klaus
