Hello,
For my diploma thesis I rewrote the SPARQL engine of the RDF API for PHP project (RAP) and am doing speed comparisons to other SPARQL endpoints. Virtuoso, one of the few commercially available engines is on my list, too. Trying to compile it on my Gentoo System is kinda tricky since I plan to use from with PHP. The native PHP integration does not work (libphp usability bad) [1], so I try to connect to virtuoso via iodbc. Enabling this in configure, I get the following error on compiling: ../../libtool: line 1802: cd: libsrc/odbcsdk/lib: No such file or directory libtool: link: cannot determine absolute directory name of `libsrc/odbcsdk/lib' libsrc/odbcsdk/ exists, but it has no lib/ dir below. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Are there other ways to access Virtuoso from PHP than iodbc? [1] http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/wiki/main/Main/VOSBldPHP gives some tips for php4, but I am all php5. Further I cannot enable all of this options because gentoo's php package in portage just doesn't have this use flags. What config options do I really need for PHP5? -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske
