PHP MySql Problem

[Soulwatcher]

The only other thing I can think of is you need to rebuild PHP for MySQL. What OS are you running and what version of PHP do you have?

If your running PHP 4 you can follow this guide to rebuild your PHP for MySQL.

Centos Php 4. Thanks for the help. I'll try to recompile php later today.

I read the page on recompiling php and I got to the part where I was running "up2date libpng-devel libjpeg-devel freetype-devel freetype libjpeg libpng." I ran it and it gave me

Downloading headers to solve dependencies...
There was an error downloading: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os...L4_U2.i386.hdr
There was an error downloading: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os...2.1-1.i386.hdr

...continually

Try "yum install libpng-devel libjpeg-devel freetype-devel freetype libjpeg libpng" That should do the trick.

slowly getting through this. seems like yum install has been the answer to all dependancy errors.

started configuring it, and got the error:

checking for flex... lex
checking for yywrap in -ll... no
checking lex output file root... ./configure: line 2426: lex: command not found
configure: error: cannot find output from lex; giving up

thanks for all the help. Does that mean I have to install lex?

Your going to need to install the devel for every dependency error it comes up with. Try 'yum install flex-devel".
