Description:
------------
 Cannot find php_pdo_driver.h


The ./configure script doesn't look in in /usr/include/php5 
for the php_pdo_driver.h

Reproduce code:

I manually altered /tmp/pear/download/PDO_INFORMIX-
1.2.6/configure

Where you have the lines:

if test -f $abs_srcdir/include/php/ext/pdo/php_pdo_driver.h; 
then
     pdo_inc_path=$abs_srcdir/ext
   elif test -f $abs_srcdir/ext/pdo/php_pdo_driver.h; then
     pdo_inc_path=$abs_srcdir/ext
   elif test -f 
$prefix/include/php/ext/pdo/php_pdo_driver.h; then
     pdo_inc_path=$prefix/include/php/ext
   else
     as_fn_error "Cannot find php_pdo_driver.h." "$LINENO" 5
   fi
 
 
 I added this lines so it would find the header file:  
(../php5/..
 instead of
 .../php/..  )
 
   elif test -f 
$prefix/include/php5/ext/pdo/php_pdo_driver.h; then
     pdo_inc_path=$prefix/include/php5/ext

same problem on UBUNTU,
solved the problem as per

This problem is probably caused by acinclude.m4 which is used to generate the configure script, here: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/acinclude.m4#L2774

If you compile from source you will not have this issue, so it is not a bug in PHP. In OP's case it is an opensuse issue. The acinclude.m4 file needs to be updated.

A temporary workaround:
sudo ln -s /usr/include/php5/ /usr/include/php

I've added an Ubuntu bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1393640

I believe this bug can be closed.

Me too, or does anybody still experience this build issue with any
of the actively supported PHP versions[1] and the latest
PDO_INFORMIX (1.3.4)?
