PHP, unable to load dynamic library ps.so

[michellez]

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ps.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ps.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

I did have the popular (it seems) Imagick problem which I fixed after searching the forums. This happened after upgrading Ubuntu. Not having so much luck on the new error though.

Thanks,

Does /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ps.so actually exist on your machine?

No it isn't.

/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ps.so: No such file or directory

What is "PS"?

Thank you,

I think this is postscript.

Try this:

sudo apt-get install pslib

I have done apt-get install pslib-dev and apt-get install pslib1.

The file does still not exist and I still get the same error.

Thanks,

I've realised (I think..) this needs a similar fix to Imagick (duh!) using:

pecl install ps

It doesn't work though! :(

Huh o_O

Thanks,

[michellez]

Sorted!


sudo apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev
sudo pecl install ps


Now working error free :)

Annoying all this "messed up" after a dist upgrade..

Thanks,

Ok...When I run this:

sudo pecl install ps

It asks:

5 source files, building
running: phpize
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20041225
Zend Module Api No: 20060613
Zend Extension Api No: 220060519
1. path to pslib installation? :

1-1, 'all', 'abort', or Enter to continue:

---------------

I've tried /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib,
I've tried searching the drive for pslib and pointing it there...but no dice.

What am I doing wrong?

[rabatitat]

you have to get the dependecies for pslib:
libpng and libjpeg

after which you'll be able to run pecl install ps without hitches.

just get the whole graphics library package as michellez stated:

libgd2-xpm-dev

So the installation process would be:

sudo apt-get the following:

build-essential (for building debian packages - useful for any developer)
php5-dev (module development)
libgd2-xpm-dev (graphics dependecies of libsp1)
libsp1 (PostScript library)

run:

sudo pecl install ps

(when it prompts you for the path of pslib, just press enter)

add to php.ini:
extension=ps.so

restart your web server:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

You can test it out by running a php script on your browser with the following line:
$p = ps_new();

No errors either means it running well or you've turned off error reporting on your php server (LOL).

Hope this helps. :D
