To find out which version you have use the command “file” and add the executable or library you want to examine. Like “file file /usr/local/php5/bin/php” to find out which version of PHP you have installed per our instructions.

You need to compile it in the same way as you did with Apache and PHP, so yes it does matter.

Hey,

My phpmyadmin is askink for libmcrypt, but i don’t know where to find wich version i installed. 32 or 64 bit, does it matter wich one i use?

I reinstalled xtools and reinstalled libmcrypt and that seemed to fix the C++ compiler issue.

Seemed to install fine except I saw this at the end “checking for C++ compiler default output file name… configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables” and I’m not sure if that is a problem or not? Doesn’t sound right…

Hi Anonymous, it could be caused by a miriad of problems. But try to compile mcrypt again and then compile php again. Make sure both are either 32 or 64 bits compilations. If it still does not work mail me at info @ this domain.

Great site … thanks for sharing your experience …

I installed the newest versions of MySQL, Apache and PHP according your instructions … everything worked fine … then I doubled back to enable mcrypt … and here’s the problem I’ve run during the PHP make …

@OSXniCKels, Thanks for mentioning this. Although most of your remarks have been answered in other sections of this site.

Oops, another little quirk…on my system, I had to change the “–prefix=” to “/etc”. That’s where php lives for me.

thanks man. i got a mysql error when compiling with 32-bit mode. Haha, didn’t realize which version i had. But it works with 64-bit mode.

Also, I have OSX 10.5(.7) using the default apache install. I had to change that last line for “apxs2″ to:

--with-apxs2=/etc/apache2/bin/apxs

because apache lives at /etc/apache2 (aka /private/etc/apache2)

Thanks again!!
