Ubuntu PDO dev package

Post by John Cartwright »

I can't seem to find the PDO dev package for ubuntu.. I have been looking for over an hour now unsuccesfuly.

Code: Select all

jcart@jcart-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install php5-mysql-pdo
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package php5-mysql-pdo
Doesn't seem to want to work, although this was shown on several sites. Any ideas?

apt-cache search pdo

Looks like it's not there so a Google search found you can install it from PECL:

I'm sure that applies to Edgy Eft too.
