I changed it a bit to a New version.

Very important is that the Development tools Are installed when installing DB2 express. So when installing select custom or Full.

‘./configure’ ‘–with-apxs2=/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/apxs’ ‘–prefix=/usr/local/php’ ‘–with-gd=shared’ ‘–with-zlib’ ‘–enable-ftp’ ‘–with-libxml-dir=/usr’ ‘–with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql’ ‘–with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config’ ‘–with-pdo-odbc=ibm-db2′ ‘–with-IBM_DB2=/opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/’

I’ve been struggling with building PHP-5.2.0 on a SPARC T2000 with Solaris 10 and IHS 6.0.2 for a few days. I finally solved the configure and make problems by commenting out the sections of the configure script that check the Apache version for apxs. By forcing it to accept IHS6’s httpd -v version string as valid (which uses the apache version number, not the date – which is what the configure script checks), I got a successful build and install.

A very useful tip is to do ‘make -j 32′ on a T2000. It’s _MUCH_ faster.

I’ve noticed that my blog package seems to convert double-hyphens to m-dashes in my code snippets, so the “configure” command may be broken for you. This is probably why your PHP build is looking for Apache 2 instead of IHS, because it can’t make sense of the “with-apxs” flag.

Convert the m-dashes to double hyphens before each of the “with” flags and see if that fixes the problem.

I make it all the way to the make command. when I run make i get a bunch of similar messages as follows.

/downloads/php/php-ihs/php-src/php-4.4.4/sapi/apache2handler/sapi_apache2.c:38:25: apr_strings.h: No such file or directory

Is there anything I can do to solve this?
