1st question: It is normal that your Terminal said your version is 1.3.41, because the command httpd -v will ask the MAC’s rebuilt in apache. That’s OK, that will not make any issues for apahe2. for why you cannot restart apache, the error is what terminal tell you right? can you provide the apache2’s error log please?

2nd: could you tell me what error you got please?

dyld: Symbol not found: _XmlParseXmlDeclNS
Referenced from: /usr/local/apache2/lib/libexpat.0.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl: line 102: 26652 Trace/BPT trap $HTTPD -k $ARGV

My next problem is that when I try to install php5 I get an error which I think leads to that I can’t configure it later on. Haven’t find anyone else with that problem..

I would be grateful with any help

Here goes my story:
started installing jpeg library, but got a “C compiler cannot create executables” when I ran the “MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=…”. So I REINSTALLED XCODE AND THE SAME ERROR CAME UP. UGH!
Anyway, I finally just tried building jpeg and png with “./configure –enable-shared –enable-static” and got them installed ok, I think. (with “make clean” - thanks)
Then I tried running the ./configure script again for PHP5 and I get a problem with MYSQL. From ./configure:

...
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.


config.log:

mysql_error()
; return 0; }


- hope all that helps

On some other forums, I’ve read things like “you need to get the mysql developer tools” or even “change your /sw folder if you have fink”. I also recompiled mysql from source.

-Any thoughts would help

thank you very much for your reply. I think that you use a 64 bit machine makes this problem.
I’m really sorry I didn’t point out that the libpng and linjpeg binaries packages are for the 32 bit installation.

So, please try install them with terminal.
1.download libjpeg and libpng source package and uncompress them in /sourcecache folder (or other dictionary).

2.install them in your 64 bit mac
cd /SourceCache/jpeg-6b
cp /usr/share/libtool/config.sub .
cp /usr/share/libtool/config.guess .

For 64-bit use:
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" ./configure --enable-shared
and type this to install:
make
mkdir -p /usr/local/include
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
mkdir -p /usr/local/man/man1
make install

and for libpng is the same way. but please pay attention, first of all, run “make clean” to clean your 32 bit installation.

thank you

I get this hangup when running the ./config…etc for php5:

configure: error: Problem with libpng.(a|so) or libz.(a|so). Please check config.log for more information.

the last few lines in config.log say:

configure:35723: checking for png_write_image in -lpng
configure:35742: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -no-cpp-precomp -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lz conftest.c -lpng -ljpeg -lcurl -lz -lm -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm -lcurl -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libpng.dylib load command 4 unknown cmd field
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 35731 “configure”
#include “confdefs.h”
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
char png_write_image();

int main() {
png_write_image()
; return 0; }

So it looks like the libpng is the root of the problem, but I used the installation package listed above. Any ideas or suggestions?

Best regards.
