I followed all the steps with the 4.4.8 src.rpm but I end up with the following error:
extern “C” void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit;

configure: exit 1
+ make -j4
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.81676 (%build)

But I didn’t find any solution. Or indication in what is going wrong. Eventually I modified the spec file so there is no -j4 added, but then I and up with this error:
checking whether to include mime_magic support… yes
configure: error: File ‘/usr/lib64/rpm/magic.mime’ not found!

Please help.

My mysql-devel packages are installed as well, but I still get this error:

please? Thanks!

I believe you’ve forgotten to install the -devel packages, required to build your own packages.

[CaliMonk@DYV001 ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/include/mysql
mysql-devel-5.0.58

So a “sudo yum install mysql-devel” should do the trick.

If you install a RPM, be sure to use sudo. This will ensure the appropriate rights are available.

[root@machine php4.4.9]# ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/php_4.4.9/ –with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache_2.0.63/bin/apxs –with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql –with-gd –with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib –with-curl –with-openssl –with-zlib –enable-sockets –enable-memory-limit –with-dom –with-dom-xslt –with-dom-exslt –with-ncurses –enable-dbx –enable-dio –enable-experimental-zts –enable-ftp

configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under /usr/include/mysql

I fought this for a long time and never resolved it. Does your package work with that?

Additionally, once I build your SRPMs into RPMs and installed them, I cannot seem to get it to run; am I doing something wrong somehow? Really I just wget the file, rpm -ivh that, cd to its unpack dir, and ran ‘rpmbuild -bb php4-4.4.8_LAB3.spec’ then installed the resulting .rpm files in the i386 folder.
