So thanx again, closing in. It turned out that I had tried; yum install php_pear // i.e. with an underscore, should be with hyphen ! so crawling a mm forward; then stuck on; pecl install pdo_odbc // in this case the undrscore is ok (!) which fails as "Cant find php headers in /usr/include/php" followed by "Error phpize failed" /georg ----- Original Message ----- From: Serge Fonville To: georg Cc: Gabriel Ricci ; Daniel Brown ; tamouse mailing lists ; PHP General Sent: Friday, May 10, 2013 11:41 PM Subject: Re: undef func Assuming OP is using a distro that uses yum for package management; A "yum whatprovides pecl" should provide the package name that needs to be installed, in case of an apt based distro, this could be done through aptitude. Either way, it seems what might provide more information is details like the commands executed, the distro used and the errors received HTH Kind regards/met vriendelijke groet, Serge Fonville http://www.sergefonville.nl Convince Microsoft!

Yeah, I misread the bit about "MS XP" and thought he was using XP for this install.
