Error compiling a php 5.6.20 on a Centos 6.7

Hello guys.

I'm compiling a php 5.6.20 on a Centos 6.7.
I have the following error:

configure: error: Can not find IMAP library (libc-client.a). Please check your c-client installation.

In searching the internet I found a way to build the imap library in version Centos 6.7 .

Does anyone know how to solve?
Thank you.

 

Hey
Why do you need to compile PHP at all?
You can add EPEL repository and install PHP 5.6 just like that:

Code:

rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm

And then you can install PHP 5.6:

Code:

yum install php56w

You can also look here for similar questions.

 

--with-libdir=lib64 during configure should solve this

 

Why do you want to force all websites to use the same php-version? There is a big difference between the php-version of the server and additional php-versions for websites.
