Firstly, I spent 3 hours searching the archives and trying all the suggestion that I could find. No go. The box that I want to put this on is a Cobalt Qube2 The pdflib compiles and installs correctly as a shared library It is compiled with tiff and zlib support only (png is explicitly off) Here is the output when I compile php with the following command: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \ --with-ftp \ --enable-calendar\ --with-zlib-dir \ --with-mysql \ --with-pdflib=/usr/local \ --with-swf=/usr/local/swf \ --with-zlib OUTPUT: checking for Oracle-ORACLE support... no checking for Ovrimos SQL Server support... no checking whether to include PCRE support... yes checking for memmove... (cached) yes checking whether to include Pdflib 3.x support... /usr/local yes checking for libz needed by pdflib 3.x... already zlib support checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... no no checking for png_create_info_struct in -lpng... no no checking for TIFFOpen in -ltiff... no no checking for PDF_show_boxed in -lpdf... no configure: error: pdflib extension requires pdflib 3.x. [php-4.0.4pl1]# I do not know the ins and outs of make, ld, yacc, sed... I am not a developer, just a monkey that can read and explore In exploring, I grep'd for PDF_show_box in a bunch of .c and .h files, and found it in a lot of places. I don't know which file does the actual check for PDF_show_boxed, or which file it checks, that would be helpful. I did download the latest and greatest pdf.c for php/ext/pdf directory. If anyone has any new ideas on things to try to make this work, I would be hugely grateful. I downloaded both source tarballs today, from what appeared to be the newest. Ack!
