Make does not run with "sudo pecl install pdo", why?

Question

Here is the log file, make does not run. I followed the instructions by Ronald Bauman here. Below you can find the point where it fails. How can I debug this?

Answer 1

php5-mysql, php5-pgsql, and php5-sqlite packages will provide the PDO extensions with them. Pear is not needed to achieve this.

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql php5-postgres php5-sqlite

Answer 2

While trying to install drupal7 under Debian wheezy, I encountered identical make errors as shown here.

Initial error was: PHP Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY' in /usr/share/drupal7/includes/database/mysql/database.inc on line 42

Then, installing with "pecl install pdo" gave the above make errors.

Following this: http://drupal.org/node/784062#comment-2932820 The issue was avoided.

Answer 3

You didn't specify the PHP version used so I am just guessing the reason. The most probable reason for compilation failure is that you are using incompatible version of PECL module and PHP version.

There was a change in Zend internals between PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.3, so the modules needed an update.

Together with the fact that PDO module is no longer maintained makes quite reasonable assumption that you are using way-to-old PDO module with newer PHP, which will not work for reasons I have already stated.

E.g. just use the modules (php5-mysql, php5-pgsql) provided by the distribution.
