Make error

[timf]

Hi guys, new here, but a great resource / forum - reading the posts and FAQ have helped a lot, but now I'm stumped...
I have followed how to install a LAMP server per this link:

http://www.lamphowto.com/lamp.htm
I have Apache and Mysql running ok.

I have gotten thru' the ZM configure stage, but when I run 'make' it only runs for a few lines of text / seconds before complaining that Mysql does not name a type.

Running Fedora FC3.

Any suggestions ?

BTW I'm at work right now and will post more details later - if needed.

Thanks guys and keep up the great work.

Hi,

I think that actual errors might be helpful, if you capture the output from make. Also what versions of things you have installed etc. As much detail as you can provide really. By the way there is an FC3 rpm you can use if you don't want to go through the hassle of a self-build.

Cheers

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the quick reply - I'll post more info later today about what's going on, I'm sure it'll be something dumb on my behalf

Hopefully I'll not consume too much of your bandwidth.

I did start with the RPM install, but had a couple of problems with that as well, but I did get 3 of the 4 binaries generated.

So I thought I'd start over a fesh from the source - if nothing else I've learnt a ton of stuff I wouldn't have if I'd taken the 'easy' rpm route.

IMO RPM's are a great technique but I want to understand in detail how to make from source.

BTW I have the ZM source currently located in /home/timf/zm-1.2 and I'm logged in as root - is this ok ? Certainly configure and perl ./zmconfig.pl run ok.

Hi Phil,
I'm running MySql version 4.0.24 and php version 4.3.10
I think I've set up the MySql DB correctly, but not 100% sure.
I also think I've set the configure correctly telling it where MySql resides, but looking at the line below it seems it can't find MySql.h in Mysql - could this be the problem ?

Thanks Tim (Brit in the US)
This is the console op when I run make:

The error it is giving you that it can't locate mysql.h is a source header file. It's been abit since I did mysql build from source but should be installed <prefix>/include/mysql so if you set the prefix to /usr it would be /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
Do a locate mysql.hand see where it turns up.

[timf]

just came to report that indeed I'd entered a wrong path for mysql.h - doh, I feel dumb

A quick whereis told me it's located at/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql

Now let's see what else I can break....

Thanks anyway cordel !
