Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.

You did not give a path where configure should find PDFlib.

You may look here:

http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/support/PDFlib-in-PHP-HowTo.pdf

for more Details on how to build this extension.

This is because the package has moved to Horde_Pdf. While this is a case of RTFM, it is still annoying to get to the bottom of the page and not see either party knowing what they are talking about.

configure: error: pdflib.h not found! Check the path passed to --with-pdflib=<PATH>. PATH should be the install prefix directory.

just try to see howto to install in all guide and don't found nothing userful

any suggestion on how to fix this non bug that is like that ??
