Dear sir/madam,

my OS is Linux Mandrake 7.2 and i install apache as my web server and mysql as my database. (Perl is also pre loaded)

However, i tried to install PHP by use php*.tar.gz or *.rpm are both failed. i don't know why. Isn't the computer missed some gcc (compilers such as C compiler or others). Please give me a hand . thanks.

when i tried to install by using un-tar *.tar.gz. the error is as below:
firstly, i saved the un-tar directory in /tmp/php-4.1.2/**
it is a root user too.

The error as below:

You need to install flex.. ask further support questions
on the mailing lists. http://www.php.net/support.php

(Reclassified as documentation problem, FAQ's build section should have entry for this :)

[2002-03-11 03:38 UTC] arthurkwtang at netvigator dot com

dear sir/madam,

i have installed flex and bison again. however the same problems still occurred. (my procedure is : download the flex-2.5.4a.tar.gz and bison-1.33.tar.gz ) then copy to /usr/local/ and go to their directory and "./configure" and "make" and "make install".


Finally, i go to /usr/local/php-4.1.2/ 

and cd /usr/local/php-4.1.2
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql \
--enable-track-vars

:(
but the same problem is still here


thanks
Rgds,
arthur

why didn't you use the flex and bison rpms from the distribution?

[2002-11-15 03:50 UTC] philip@php.net

Added a faq for this. Build faq entries can be seen here:
