In order to compile PHP on 64 bit you need to use the option --with-libdir=lib64 otherwise you will stay forever with the following error
checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no
checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient... no
checking for mysql_error in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: mysql configure failed. Please check config.log for more information.

MUCHAS GRACIAS!
MERCI BEAUCOUP!
I tend to compile a complete LAMP stack under some special directory (so I know exactly what I’ve got, and don’t have to worry about breaking package management on my system by custom-compiling newer version of things.
So I end up with a directory like /web, which might contain openssl/ mhash/ libmcrypt/ curl/, etc.
Just today, I was doing this, but trying to link against the system’s mysql.
In that setup, –with-libdir=lib64 can cause problems if your various other support libraries stick things in lib/ (as opposed to lib64/). To fix just mysql, and allow other libs to look in lib/, you can try:
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql ./configure –with-mysql …

I was trying for hours to find a solution for the same problem without luck.

Thanks!

Thanks

When all the other crap failed. configure seems to ignore setting mysql's lib dir to lib64 so for anyone searching and all other fixes fail then this works when mysql has some 32 bit dependencies installed on a 64 bit OS
Posted 23 May 2010 at 8:46 am ¶btw you must do
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql ./configure –with-mysql
then LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql make
running make without setting the ldflag will cause it to fail
might not be needed for make install but if make install fails then try
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql make install
