Install Error on CentOS 64bit.. Go Figure

Ok, I've searched up and down, read every thread relating to the error PHP throws during configure about not being able to find the OpenSSL libraries. I've spent hours on this, and 25+ build attempts later, nothing.

Unlike most others, where PHP says it can't find the libraries and references <env.h>, I get no reference to a specific file.

Background... long long time FreeBSD user that's used to building exclusively from source, so working with package managers that actually work are a bit new to me.

So anyways, I've manually hacked the compile_aps/compile file with every thing I can think of as well as everything mentioned regarding pointing --with-openssl=XYZ, hardcoding the plain --with-openssl, using --with-openssl-dir=XYZ, etc, etc.

Everything compiles fine up until the execution of the php configure file. I have the "normal" Apache with PHP5 already compiled and installed with OpenSSL with no problem.

The only thing I have not been able to try as some have hinted is using the 32bit version of openssl-devel. I have manually fetched that RPM (so I believe), but it won't install because a slew of other packages depend on the libs from the 64bit version. If you feel the key lies in this, could you walk me through with a command line verbatim example of how to make the 64bit coexist with the 32bit?

Secondly, I removed the --with-openssl altogether just to see what would happen. I got the zlib is old security issue error message. So I updated zlib via Yum. Now when it goes to compile PHP I get a zlib error now also.

I've went as far as hacking up setup2 and compile to basically omit PHP as I planned on adding the module after the fact from my good build, but the whole thing kinda went kablewy at the end.

So my two issues are OpenSSL, and once that is fixed I will obviously have to deal with the zlib issue.

Help please!!

Yes, I should have clarified. This was a fresh CentOS 4.4 dedicated server from a colo.

I followed the "Perfect Server - Centos 64bit" guide from the moment I first logged in. There was some packages installed already and pre-config'd, so I had removed any that were not current and installed by the guide copy/paste.

I guess why I am so baffled is I can install via RPM/Yum PHP fine with Openssl, but the build from source in ISPConfig fails.

I'm plenty familiar with troublesome builds. Normally I would just set ENV and LD paths, or explicitly define header locations on FreeBSD and you can make it work. I just can't seem to get the PHP configure file to listen to what I am telling it.

What specific libs or headers is PHP is looking for and exactly where?

Thanks!

 

Anyone have any clues?
