php with no zlib support

[prad87]

hey guys,
i have installed php from the freeware for solaris site.
But I have no zlib support so I guess I have to reinstall php again.
How do I do this, I have heard people say do ./configure with "-with-zlib=[dir]" option
but I dont have a configure script.
Any help will be appreciated.

You should donwload source from http php.net/downloads.php

When you extract archive, you should cd to that dir, and run

./configure --help

That will list you every ./configure options
Since you need zlib support, you can also try this

./configure --help | grep -i zlib

You can find your zlib dir by doing this:

su -c updatedb
locate zlib | less

or

whereis zlib

After ./configure, do

make
su -c "make install"

and your done
