I am trying to get PHP working with a Firebird Database on Centos 5
which installs PHP-5.1.6.

From the FAQ Milan referenced:
1. install php-devel package (needed for phpize. If you already have
phpize command, you don't need it)
2. get the php source code for the exact version as you are running
3. unpack the source and go to ext/interbase directory
4. run: phpize
5. run: ./configure --with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird
6. run: make
7. this will create interbase.so module (most probably in .libs
subdirectory)

All is OK until we get to #5.

The configure comes up with an error:

checking for InterBase support... yes, shared
checking for isc_detach_database in -lfbclient... no
checking for isc_detach_database in -lgds... no
checking for isc_detach_database in -lib_util... no
configure: error: libgds, libib_util or libfbclient not found! Check
config.log for more information.

Of course the files are there, but somehow not being found or accessed
correctly.

I've included the part of config.log below that is relevant.

This problem seems to have been noted in many places on the net for
some time, but with no solutions.


kind regards

Gary
