the pdflib site<\/a><\/p>\n2. I unpacked it and ran the configure and make commands and such. So far so good.<\/p>\n
3. I realized that unlike the full version, this doesn’t come with the php extension bindings.<\/p>\n
4. Tried to use pear install pdflib like the instructions said, but that failed, so I tried pecl, but it claimed my gcc didn’t work:<\/p>\n
# pear install pdflib

So that failed. I don’t know why, because my gcc does work. Anyway, the solution was to start the pecl process, then open another terminal window and copy the \/root\/tmp\/pear\/pdflib\/ files to another directory.<\/p>\n
Then manually run configure –with-pdflib=\/usr\/local there.<\/p>\n
(I also ran into trouble because I wasn’t giving \/usr\/local as the directory. I was giving \/usr\/local\/lib which was where libpdf.so was. Trouble was, it needed pdflib.h which was in \/usr\/local\/include. So giving \/usr\/local it knows to look both places. The error code I was getting was: configure: error: pdflib.h not found! Check the path passed to –with-pdflib=. PATH should be the install prefix directory.)<\/p>\nThen run make, then make test, then make install, and you’re done! You should now have pdf.so in your php extension directory, which is extension_dir in your php.ini file.<\/p>\n
Hope that helps anyone googling for a solution based on error codes they’ve gotten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
