I'm running a Linux Ubuntu 8.04 server, and one of my applications I'm working on requires cURL. When I tried to install the app I get an error saying that it needs cURL to run. If I do a curl -V I get: Code: curl 7.18.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.18.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.1 Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz If I check php.ini it's not listed. I tried manually adding extension=curl.so to php.ini and restarting apache and got this in the log: Code: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613/curl.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20060613/curl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 I'd love to hear any ideas, because I've run out of them.
That was the first thing I tried. I get this: Code: Building tag database...

Unless I don't understand the warnings, it looks like that install would mess things up. I'm running 64bit 8.04. Could it be a problem with my sources list?

I've done that many times already using different sources. I also tried using apt-get update, apt-get. Still the same results.
I was finally able to fix this. It ended up that I accidentally installed the wrong version of one of the php libraries. I think it happened when I turned on a dotdeb source to try out one program. I think when I did that, I updated php5-common without knowing it. The only way to fix it was to uninstall php5-common and all associated with it. Then I reinstalled all the php5 files over again from the correct sources. At least that worked for me.
