PHP PECL Extension Installation Failure

[John P]

Thanks Bjarne.  I got it working finally!

I followed your suggestion using the instructions at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.phpize.php  and did the following:

   pecl download fileinfo
   tar xvzf Fileinfo-1.0.4.tgz
   cd Fileinfo-1.0.4
   phpize
   ./configure --with-fileinfo=/opt/local
   make
   make install

This creates the extension file fileinfo.so

Edit php.ini to load the dynamic extension from where ever the fileinfo.so
file is located by adding the following line:
   extension=<path to fileinfo.so>fileinfo.so

Restart of apache and it all appears to work.

Thanks again.  Really appreciate it.


John
