I didn't read the fine manual. Where in the manual says: [move "fdftk.h" to "/usr/local/includes" and "libfdftk.so" to "/usr/local/lib"]? Huh? The manual only says:

<manual source="php.net/fdf">
Note: If you run into problems configuring PHP with fdftk support, check whether the header file fdftk.h and the library libfdftk.so are at the right place. The configure script supports both the directory structure of the FDF SDK distribution and the usual DIR/include / DIR/lib layout, so you can point it either directly to the unpacked distribution directory or put the header file and the appropriate library for your platform into e.g. /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib and configure with --with-fdftk=/usr/local.
</manual>


It *assumes* that you now that what_ever_file.h is an include and it goes into DIR/Include and what_ever_file.so is an object (module, library?) and it goes into DIR/lib and that DIR is /usr/local.

More questions/comments about this stuff:

If the manual says fdftk.h is a header file, why it should be in the includes directory as opposed to the headers directory?

If libfdftk.so goes into the lib directory, it should be called libfdftk.lib! Whats the meaning of .so? Standard Object?

Where is the unpacked distribution directory?

Sigh, that's what happens when you RTFM :-)

Now could you please tell the neurotic posters (see recent thread) that RTFM really does work!
