I'm trying to install libpuzzle PHP extension but I don't seem to be able to get it to work.
I have tried to follow the following instructions:
The Puzzle library can also be used through PHP, using a native extension. Prerequisites are the PHP headers, libtool, autoconf and automake. Here are the basic steps in order to install the extension:
(on OpenBSD: export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9 ; export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.61)
cd php/libpuzzle
phpize
./configure --with-libpuzzle
make clean
make
make install
If libpuzzle is installed in a non-standard location, use: ./configure --with-libpuzzle=/base/directory/for/libpuzzle
Then edit your php.ini file and add:
extension=libpuzzle.so
However when I try to run "./configure --with-libpuzzle" I get the following error: configure: error: Please reinstall the libpuzzle distribution
Could someone point me in the right direction please.
Is there a reason you are compiling from source when it is available in the Ubuntu repositories?
sudo aptitude install libpuzzle-php
Or apt-get if you like that instead:
sudo apt-get install libpuzzle-php
If you somehow did not see it in the repository do a search like this:
sudo aptitude search libpuzzle
Which on my 12.04 install shows this:

p libpuzzle-bin:i386 - quick similar image finder - runtime tool
