PDF Lib install fail on linux server. Using pecl i

问题:

I'm attempting to install pdflib on my server and receiving the error:

configure: error: pdflib.h not found! Check the path passed to --with-pdflib=<PATH>. PATH should be the install prefix directory. ERROR: /root/tmp/pear/pdflib/configure --with-pdflib=/usr/local' failed

I am entering the following in terminal:

pecl install pdflib

path to pdflib installation? :

/usr/local

I got it solved this way: Downloaded latest http://www.pdflib.com/binaries/PDFlib/705/PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3.tar.gz

# cd /home/xxx/Downloads/
# wget http://www.pdflib.com/binaries/PDFlib/705/PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3.tar.gz

Un-tar-gzip it

# tar xzf PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3.tar.gz
# cd PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3

See, if and where it contains pdflib.h

# find . -name 'pdflib.h'
./PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3/libs/pdflib/pdflib.h

Install via pecl

# pecl install pdflib

If it asks for path, enter the same full path /home/xxx/Downloads/pdf/PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5p3/libs/pdflib See from installation messages, if and where it added file pdf.so (in php extensions directory, this dir name may vary but file pdf.so has to exist):

# ls -la /usr/lib/php5/20090626

change pdf.ini

# nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

adding at the end

extension=pdf.so

(You may want to add it in command line php conf /etc/php5/cli/php.ini too)

reload apache

# service apache2 reload

See, if this extension appears
