It's looking for the include/, lib/ etc folders under that (ie the
headers and so on).

Where are they located?

I am not sure if after getting a reply to the question one should still
reply to the mailing list or reply to the *person directly*. If I have
committed a mistake kindly oblige as this is new to me.
After posting the question I just *searched* and then came to know that
while installing db2, it had created 3 users named *db2inst1*,
*db2fenc1*and one more
*administrative user* whose name i am not able to recollect and then saw *db2
cli include files* in *db2inst1's home* when i logged onto the system as a
db2inst1 user and tried to copy those files to /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5 (which is
where db2 database is installed) but gave me an error saying that I cannot
copy.
I also changed the permissions and even then could not copy.
So does this mean i have to complie the extension by logging in as db2inst1
and cant this be as root or what should I do to continue further.

With Regards,
Harsha

mailing list - so others can chime in with suggestions and/or learn from
the questions/comments.

Note - I have never installed db2 so not sure how it works/is set up.

However, with mysql, postgresql, gd & other extensions for php, you have
to install the "devel" or "dev" package along with the main one for php
to compile against.

The "dev" package provides the headers which other packages can use, for
example:

/usr/include/postgresql/*.h
/usr/lib/postgresql/*

PHP looks at those headers (*.h) and uses those to work out functionality.

So when you compile, you have to point php to the base folder which
contains the include/ and lib/ subdirectories.

../configure --with-pgsql=/usr

in your case:

../configure --with-db2=/path/to/db2

under /path/to/db2 you need the include/, lib/ etc folders which include
the program headers. Without those files, php won't compile with db2
support.


It looks like you have the lib stuff there (lib32/ is fine, it was
picked up) but there's no include/ stuff which is what configure is
complaining about.
