  I’d like to add that if you are using the default Leopard layout, then the last line of your configure commands should be “–with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs”

  the compile will fail if you don’t do this as /usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs doesn’t exist when using the Leopard layout. I am assuming that this shouldn’t cause a problem?

  Jared, you are correct but that was not the purpose of this write-up. Each page is part of a bigger set and they are all interlinked. I’ve blogged about this a while back, perhaps I can put a remark here if more people encounter this problem.

  After striping out the odd characters in the script above I went and entered it in the terminal.

  I received this error:
  checking for mysql_set_server_option in -lmysqlclient… no
  configure: error: wrong mysql library version or lib not found. Check config.log for more information.

  The tail end of my config.log is: (from tail-25 config.log)

  char mysql_set_server_option();

  Perhaps the info from mysqld_config would be helpful. Here it is:

  –libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql-5.1.36-osx10.5-x86_64/lib/mysql -lmysqld -ldl -lz -lm]

  I thought that this might be a case of mixing 64bit and 32bit architectures, but I followed the directions your site up to this point.

  Any ideas how I can either get the correct libmysqlclient.dylib or alter the configure script so it points to the correct library?

  Thanks.

  IIf you have a PowerPC Mac (G3, G4 or G5) you’ll need to change

  CFLAGS=”-arch x86_64″ \
  CXXFLAGS=”-arch x86_64″ \

  to

  CFLAGS=”-arch ppc64″ \
  CXXFLAGS=”-arch ppc64″ \

  Thanks for this excellent documentation.

  Some comments about PHP5 installation on Leopard :

  – the system comes with php pre-installed, if you want to update Apple installation replace the –prefix option in the configure command with :
  –prefix=/usr

  – the –sysconfdir=/etc option does not seem to be sufficient for PHP to find the correct ini file path. On my system it was necessary to add the following option to the configure command :
  –with-config-file-path=/etc

  Finally, it would be nice to add instructions on how to install the op-code cache APC, which brings really high performance gains.

  Cheers.

  In Snow Leopard, you need to add `-lresolv´ to the line containing `EXTRA_LIBS´ in the `Makefile´ _after_ you executed the `./configure´-script.
  The source where i got that said that this is probably a bug in the PHP 5.3 branch.

  Have fun!

  @Jason, are you sure your machine is 64 bits? Are you using 5.3, then try the previous remark from Nico adding -lresolv in the makefile.

  @Matthew, you are combining 64 bits and 32 bits components. Somewhere you made a mistake with the compiler options.

  Hi,

  I started compiling and installing my own mysql and apache2 following your directions.
  When I install php5 – I can’t view the simple “It works”-HTML – I just get a blank page. When I uncomment the php5 module – it works.

  Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

  Arlo, are you sure you compiled it all for the correct architecture (32 vs 64 bits)

  Hey Richard,

  wow, fast reply. After compiling it a few times it somehow works now. I also noticed that there actually is a guide for Snow Leopard.

  You should consider linking the Snow Leopard articles from http://diymacserver.com/installing-php/.

  Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.

  Hoping someone may be able to help me. I have successfully installed, from source, MySQL5, PgSQL8 (I have connected to both, they are running), and Apache2. I am now attempting to install PHP5, following these instructions. I have added the options for PgSQL from the ./configure –help menu for pgsql, and specified my installation locations. However, during ./configure I get the following error:

  checking for PostgreSQL support for PDO… yes
  checking for pg_config… not found
  configure: error: Cannot find libpq-fe.h. Please specify correct PostgreSQL installation path

  The path I gave it was /Library/PgSQL8, which /is/ where my installation is, and it does have pg_config in ./bin there, and the libpq-fe.h in ./include there. But it refuses to believe me. I’ve set the directory and contents 777 in case that was the issue, and no joy. It refuses to accept that I have PgSQL installed there.

  Any ideas what I should try next here?

  Did you ever find the answer to this?
