I'm trying to install a program called phraseanet. I ran the ./configure command and run into this error:

configure: error: Cannot find php-config. Please use --with-php-config=PATH

I am using Ubuntu 10.04, Apache 2, PHP5 and Mysql 5

Does anyone know where I can find the php-config? I can't find that file....

  • You can get the same error with php 8 as `php-config` was renamed to `php-config8`. I solved the issue creating a symbolic link `ln -s /usr/bin/php-config8 /usr/bin/php-config` – 8ctopus Jul 07 '21 at 05:26

To use php-config you will need to have the PHP development package installed, in Ubuntu you can install the PHP5 development package using:

sudo apt-get install php5-dev

After installing the php5-dev package, (on my Ubuntu installation) php-config can be found in:

/usr/bin/php-config

  • Note that the right php-config might be /usr/bin/php-config54 or /usr/bin/php-config55, etc. according to your PHP verison. – martin Apr 08 '14 at 10:30

that is a script that display the configuration from the ink file - see http://linux.die.net/man/1/php-config if you can not install it with apt try to download the source code from the php site.
