Re: PHP v5.2.5 installation

[Jesse Santana <jsantana@xxxxxxxxx>]

Keith,

Thank you for the feedback.  I
do tar up my PHP directory before performing an upgrade and I keep these
tar files around indefinitely so I can always reference them if needed.
 I install PHP in the same directory each time because we are running
PHP as a CLI and I don't have access to all the scripts that our 25 different
webmasters and countless students have written.  The last thing I
want to do is to have to tell everyone to change the shebang line in each
script every time I upgrade PHP.  We have tossed around the idea of
a soft link but for now we continue to tar up the old directory and replace
it with the new.

I was able to determine that my problem
was related to the --with-openssl addition in my configure statement.  As
soon as I changed that to --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl, the make completed
successfully.  The mysql_set_character undefined symbol error was
sort of misleading but it's not the first time I've seen something like
this.

Not sure if this answers your prob at all - but it may help 
keep things apart in the future and avoid any other conflicts.

Would it be a better option to compile each version of PHP 
(and any other compiled software, including different 
versions of Apache (http, https)) into it's own subdirectory 
under /usr/local?

That way you will have the previous version for reference 
purposes, and also as a 'fallback' untill you have your 
latest version up and running? These are the main reasons I 
like to compile php and apache myself. It's handy just 
copying the configuration files from the old version across 
to the new version, without messing up the previous 
version's installation.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php-5.2.5

I would be inclined to do a 'make clean' in the php-5.2.5 
source dir, and try again with the above installation 
prefix. See what that does.

Can you do a clean compile without building the php-cgi 
module? If so this may give you a clue where the problem is.
