This page is great. It really helped me. After a day or more of trying to solve this problem, I was able to follow your instructions here and get everything working again.

Thanks so much

Mark,

Thanks for the explanation! It appears that something in WordPress internals mucks with double-dashes (that’s a comment indicator for SQL so it’s likely over-zealous injection prevention). I had to manually edit your comment to get them to show up properly.

I’ve updated the post above as per your comment.

Cheers
Chris

Chris,

Whatever formatter you are using for these postings just messed up my corrections as well in the above comment. So to be more specific, do this replacing every word DASH with a minus character and every QUOTE with a double quote character. Do the same for all messed commands:

env CFLAGS=QUOTEDASHO DASHg DASHarch i386 DASHarch ppcQUOTE LDFLAGS=QUOTEDASHarch i386 DASHarch ppcQUOTE ./configure DASHDASHprefix=/usr DASHDASHsysconfdir=/etc DASHDASHlocalstatedir=/var DASHDASHmandir=/usr/share/man DASHDASHenableDASHshared DASHDASHenableDASHstatic

Peter,

All of the curly quotes need to be re-typed as just normal double quotes. Similarly, the dashes need to be re-typed as minus signs respectively. For whatever reason the cut and paste formatting here is all messed. Additionally, you will want to change the single dashed flags - to double dashes –. I am specifically referring to the arguments that look like this after a cut and paste:

env CFLAGS=”-O -g -arch i386 -arch ppc” LDFLAGS=”-arch i386 -arch ppc” ./configure –prefix=/usr –sysconfdir=/etc –localstatedir=/var –mandir=/usr/share/man –enable-shared –enable-static

Change them to look like this:

env CFLAGS=”-O -g -arch i386 -arch ppc” LDFLAGS=”-arch i386 -arch ppc” ./configure –-prefix=/usr –-sysconfdir=/etc –localstatedir=/var –-mandir=/usr/share/man –-enable-shared –-enable-static

That should do it,
Mark

Peter,

I haven’t actually tried these instructions myself - too much trouble when I have a perfectly good Ubuntu machine already running with everything I need. I’d suggest googling for the original source (sorry, I don’t have the link off-hand) and seeing if the author has updated it.

Cheers.
