Kieran, It looks like you're compiling 64-bit. Changing 'i386' as the arch to 'x86_64' cleared up that error for me.

There is a note at:

http://www.gigoblog.com/2008/10/08/install-gd-for-php-on-mac-os-x-105-leopard/

NOTE: Check the output of the last command. If you get an error similar to this �"”/usr/X11/lib/libpng.3.0.0.dylib: No such file or directory” �" you should create a symbolic link with a name matching the file referred to in the error message. For example, the above error indicates that no libpng.3.0.0.dylib file exists. Simply create a link named libpng.3.0.0.dylib pointing to libpng.3.dylib:
sudo ln -s /usr/X11/lib/libpng.3.dylib /usr/X11/lib/libpng.3.0.0.dylib

Likewise, if your error refers to libpng12.0.##.#, you should create a symbolic link to libpng12.0.dylib.

Then, recompile GD.

Hi Rob,
MySQL is installed as per your instructions and is functioning normally.

Kieran,

Install MySQL first and ensure that it's working.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for this but it doesn't seem to be working for me on Mac 10.5.6 here's what's happening when I try and configure mysql_pdo I get this error:

checking for mysql_config... /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
checking for mysql_query in -lmysqlclient... no
checking for mysql_query in -lmysqlclient... (cached) no
configure: error: Try adding --with-zlib-dir=. Please check config.log for more information.

Any help would be brilliant!

Rob, I see what you mean. You can just disable php4 though and use php5 (5.2.6 is shipped).

The htdocs thing is annoying, but can be changed to :) I use ~/htdocs which works fine. You can change these things in xampp-dir/etc/httpd.conf

And that's the end of my xampp promo tour :)
