SMF 1.1 RC2FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE I FINALLY solved the problem of php (and thus SMF) not seeing zlib. For many this might be a simple fix, but for my system it was a headless-chicken-dance to compile with the right options.
I added FreeeBSD packages:
Quote
m4-1.4.4
bison-2.1_1
lemon-1.33
re2c-0.9.12
Downloaded zlib from zlib.org and compiled with the following options:
./configure --shared --prefix=/usr/local
Compiled php5 using the following options:
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/include
Now it works.
