I tried to install mysql PDO driver with this command:

$ sudo pecl install pdo_mysql

but I got the following error:

WARNING: "pecl/PDO_MYSQL" is deprecated in favor of "channel://http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/ext/pdo_mysql//ext/pdo_mysql"

Does anybody know how to install PDO drivers in Ubuntu 10.04?

Thanks

At least in ubuntu 11.04 as well as kubuntu 11.04 mysql, mysqli and pdo_mysql are included in the php5-mysql package.

I assume this is also the case for 10.04

    Thanks the answer was that: sudo apt-get install php5-mysql – j2gl Jun 29 '11 at 17:41

    Glad you wrote this: `sudo apt-get install php5-mysql` otherwise I'd still be looking for the right command (this helped me to find out about gd support: `sudo apt-get install php5-gd`) – Olivier Pons Aug 25 '12 at 04:03

You don't want to install PDO or PDO_MySQL through pecl. PDO was moved into PHP core in 5.1.0 and the extensions in the PECL repository are quite old. You can find the pdo_mysql extension in the php5-mysql (apt-get install php5-mysql) package.

If you do need to install any extensions using pecl, the error you are seeing indicates that phpize is not installed. This can be found in the php5-dev package.

PDO classes for PHP are all available in Apitude. use sudo aptitude then hit / and type in PDO if you want to use the GUI (I'm lazy, I almost always do)

If you don't get it only with this 

apt-get install php-mysql

you can try this 

apt-get install php-pear php5-dev libmysqlclient15-dev
pecl install pdo
pecl install pdo_mysql

I've found googling it was the only that works fine for me
