Note - I have never installed db2 so not sure how it works/is set up. However, with mysql, postgresql, gd & other extensions for php, you have to install the "devel" or "dev" package along with the main one for php to compile against. The "dev" package provides the headers which other packages can use, for example: /usr/include/postgresql/*.h /usr/lib/postgresql/* PHP looks at those headers (*.h) and uses those to work out functionality. So when you compile, you have to point php to the base folder which contains the include/ and lib/ subdirectories. ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr in your case: ./configure --with-db2=/path/to/db2 under /path/to/db2 you need the include/, lib/ etc folders which include the program headers. Without those files, php won't compile with db2 support. It looks like you have the lib stuff there (lib32/ is fine, it was picked up) but there's no include/ stuff which is what configure is complaining about. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
