Friends, I have a problem here... Is anyone of you using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 that of course run on Windows 2000 Advanced Server where the developing is done in Linux with its integration such as php and apache. I have re-configured my php configuration and add the configuration needed for the mssql integration : Before, my php is running perfect with this configuration : ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-memory-limit --enable-ftp --enable-bcmath --enable-track-vars --enable-calendar --enable-dio --with-gmp --with-java=/usr/local/java --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl --with-gd --with-pdflib=/usr/local --with-gettext --with-mm=/usr/local/mm/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-xml Now, mssql's need are included, so the reconfiguration looks like: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-memory-limit --enable-ftp --enable-bcmath --enable-track-vars --enable-calendar --enable-dio --with-gmp --with-java=/usr/local/java --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl --with-gd --with-pdflib=/usr/local --with-gettext --with-mm=/usr/local/mm/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --with-iodbc=/usr/local --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds --with-xml The diffrent is only placed on: --with-iodbc=/usr/local and --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds but error happens as these shown bellow: 1. On installing linux odbc ( unixODBC-2.2.8.tar.gz ), error is: . . . checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! what does it mean ? Well, I've already use the rpm version. 2. On php's progress in configuring : configure: warning: with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds: invalid host type . . . checking for the location of libtiff... no checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... (cached) yes ./configure: cd: yes: No such file or directory checking for png_create_info_struct in -lpng... no configure: error: libpng not found! whats the relation between iodbc and mssql to this ? Is Linux not supporting development using php where the database is using MSQL ? Can somebody help me ? I need to develope using php where the database is on MSSQL Server 2000 on windows 2000 advanced server. Thanks. Aramico
