Have you looked at Apple's > developer's resources/documentation? yes indeed. often you can successfully compile and install on os x things that run on freebsd or linux. but port configuration is often substantially different and not entirely handled by autoconf. (even compiling php requires some tricks.) in these cases i refer to google because people smarter than me (one assumes, everything you read on the internet being true, of course) often blog their recipe if the find one. but i found nothing for this problem. that's why i asked here. at this stage, i installed the fink package libicu36-dev-3.6.0-5, supposedly libicu headers and it seems to have done something, i'm not entirely sure exactly what. and i'm not convinced that the headers are for the same libicu version that's in /usr/lib. but somehow, though i'm not clear how one configures pecl source, i managed to get pecl to compile and install the extension. anyway, in the cli the command collator_create( 'en_US' ); did not provoke an error, so maybe that works. but if i add extension=intl.so to php.ini and restart apache, php says: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/intl.so' so we're not done yet. if i get it done, maybe i'll blog my recipe. freebsd, otoh, has a port for pecl-intl so it was trivial to install. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
