PHP install : rpm or compile ?

[Ghislain Benrais]

Hello,
My "problem" : install php's XSLT API.
1)I installed Sablotron (with the rpm) : ok
2) I read every where that the next step was to compile php
with option --with-xslt-sablot. Since I have php's rpm, I wonder if I
can use it directly and tell the rpm command to use this compilation
option. Is it possible ? If not, that's no problem since I can download
php and compile, but still I'm wondering if rpms can be used with such
options.
My config : redhat 8, php 4.2.2.
Thanks
Ghislain

Not really, unless you use the source-rpm.

Another solution would be to get the sources for 4.2.2 (from php.net)
and compile them --with-xslt-sablot=shared. Then simply use the
resulting module.so file with your existing php installation.

RPM does not actually compile the packages on your local system, it's just
a format for installing premade binaries. I'm guessing that since you've
installed a Sablotron RPM that everything has been done for you
automagically in terms of updating your main PHP to support it (this
is what RPM is [supposed] to handle for you). In other
words, see if it works as is (you probably need to restart Apache to get
the new set up).

Errm... I'm sorry, but I do think you read that little to fast... He didn't
say you don't compile the rpm's, he said you don't compile the things they
install which is true unless you install the source which seems to somewhat
break the purpose of rpms...

If you've got sablotron as an rpm, this will tell you the prefix
to pass the configure script:

rpm -qil sablotron | grep -E 'libsablot.so.0$' | sed s#.lib.libsablot.so.0##g

(in my case /usr)

you can also try looking at

whereis libsablot

to get some idea - the prefix will almost certainly be one of
/
/usr
/usr/local

and doesn't include the "bin" or "lib" parts

IIRC, you have to have JS installed as well to make PHP compile with sablotron

Dunno offhand - are you using an up-to-date version of sablotron, installed
into a standard location (/usr is normally a good bet)?

Might be worth installing it again, jsut to make sure all the files are present -
probably depends on whatever the script uses to "find" sablotron. If you're using
a package system (like rpm), make sure you've got sablotron-devel (the header files)
as well as sablotron proper

Hi Matty,
I have installed sablotron-1.0-1.src.rpm and still it doesn't work => I
give up..
Now, I'm thinking of using DOMXML. And installation works ! BUT here is
what I get when I use my first DOMXML's function :
Call to undefined function: domxml_xslt_stylesheet_file()
Do I have to change something in php.ini.

Hi Ghislain

Comments and previous message not necessarily in the right order!

Now, I'm thinking of using DOMXML. And installation works ! BUT here is
what I get when I use my first DOMXML's function :
Call to undefined function: domxml_xslt_stylesheet_file()
Do I have to change something in php.ini.
This means that you haven't compiled PHP with DOMXML support (or possibly
that you didn't install the module/binary or that you didn't restart the
webserver process after install)
Hi Matty,
I have installed sablotron-1.0-1.src.rpm and still it doesn't work => I
give up..

You don't install a .src.rpm file directly - do this:

rpm --rebuild sablotron-1.0-1.src.rpm | tee -a rpmbuildlog

Assuming it worked ok, and didn't ask you to install any other packages ;-),
do this:

grep -Ei 'Wrote .+.rpm$' rpmbuildlog

This will show you the rpms that you have compiled, which you will need to install
as usual, something like

rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/sablotron-*.rpm

Then try and compile php again!!!

HTH

[Ghislain Benrais]

It works !! (sablotron installation)
Thank you so much !
By the way, the ultimate drag I encountered was redhat's rpm command
which doesn't know the --rebuild option. I had to use rpmbuild --rebuild.
IDH (it did help)
