Re: Help compiling PHP 5.2.3 on OS X

["Juan A. Pons" <juan@xxxxxxxx>]

The problem seems to be with the paths of the OSX MySQL installation  
and the paths that the PHP MySQL libraries are looking for.

Under OSX the MySQL libs are installed in /usr/local/mysql/lib

however the PHP MySQL module expects the MySQL shared libraries at / 
usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql

What I was able to to do to get around this issue is create a set of  
symlinks:

cd /usr/local/mysql/lib
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib ./mysql
cd /usr/local/mysql/include
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/include ./mysql

And this seems to do the trick.

I have filed a php bug on this issue:
http://bugs.php.net/?id=42464

Hope this helps someone else.
