Description:
------------
I was trying to compile PHP with ldap support on my 64bit FC3 system.  I used the stock rpm install of open ldap, so it had stuck the necessary files into /lib64 instead of /lib.

The only way i could get this to build was to hack the location in the configure script.  Is this something that can be corrected for the future?

This problem is still apparent in 5.0.4RC1

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip

And by using the latest HEAD (upcoming PHP 5.1) you'll have this configure option: --with-libdir=lib64
 [2005-03-14 23:55 UTC] axelseaa at amadmax dot com 
--with-libdir=lib64 works to find the openldap install, but i have mysql and postgresql compilied from source, so their lib directories are still just named lib.  So now it fails to find those.

what is the best way to get around this?

You should not mix 32bit libs with 64bit ones, iirc..
 [2005-03-16 13:51 UTC] axelseaa at amadmax dot com 
They are both build for 64 bit system, its just that the fedora build rpms stick the libs in the lib64 folder, where the custom compiled ones do not.
 [2005-03-16 15:26 UTC] axelseaa at amadmax dot com 
Jabber compiles get around this by offering the following configuration option: --with-extra-library-path=/usr/lib:/usr/lib64:/some/other/lib

Would something like this be doable?

*sigh* You can always tell in configure of those mysql and postgresql where they put the libraries..

IMO, you should always do whatever the distribution packages does: In this case: Put the 64bit libs in /lib64 !!

This also happens on RHEL 3. The vendor installs libraries via up2date/rpms to both /usr/lib/ and /usr/lib64/ , however the php configure script (4.3.11) has $i/lib/library.ext hardcoded in, where $i=/usr/ and the library.ext we need to link against was installed by the vendor in /usr/lib64/ . A couple examples are libjpeg and libpng, both put in /usr/lib64/ (needed with the common GD support).

The problem persists.  I am having the same problem in 5.2.1 trying to configure on RedHat ES 4 x64_86.  It still looks for the LDAP libraries in /usr/lib rather than /usr/lib64 even with the appropriate flag set to configure to tell it to use /usr/lib64 for the libraries.

Same problem here.

On CentOS 4.5 manually installing Apache 1.3.31 and PHP 4.4.2 and when I try to add --with-ldap, it needs to have --with-ldap=/usr/lib64 specified but then it can't find the ldap.h file which is located in the /usr/lib directory.  

How can I make this work?
