If you get errors like: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-apc when statically compiling PECL modules, such as APC into PHP, then ensure you have the proper version of autoconf installed (version 2.13). On Ubuntu that was fixed with a quick sudo apt-get install autoconf2.13
Then you can get back to removing your configure file and running ./buildconf --force before you re-compile.
Installing ImageMagick with MacPorts couldn’t be easier:
sudo port install ImageMagick
But getting it to work with your PHP installation is a bit harder. If you’ve installed PHP via MacPorts with the pear variant you can install the imagick extension via pecl:
sudo pecl install imagick
The trick to getting it to stop complaining about the Wand-config path, is by passing it the proper prefix for ImageMagick. When prompted, hit 1, then enter in:
/opt/local
Now just add this to the end of your php.ini file, and reboot apache:
[imagemagick]
extension=imagick.so
I’m starting to use sphinx in my work, and wanted to get a solid development environment set up for it on my local OS X server. Since I built my local server with Mac Ports, it was actually pretty easy to get that installed:
sudo port install sphinx
However, I had trouble setting up the PHP extension for the Sphinx API. I could have used the sphinxapi.php that ships with the sphinx source code, but having a compiled extension is faster, and I don’t have to add more files to my php project. Installing Sphinx via Mac Ports didn’t help either, because it doesn’t install libsphinxclient, which is required to build the PHP Extension. That was until I found some instructions from someone doing something similar for Ruby.
Apple released Security Update 2008-005, which fixes numerous things. Including the infamous Cache Poisoning DNS Vulnerability, and updates PHP to 5.2.6. Run Software Update now to patch.
