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?

for anyone that crawls around with this same problem, it was as simple as

Code: Select all

jcart@jcart-laptop:~$ sudo pecl install pdo
jcart@jcart-laptop:~$ sudo pecl install pdo_mysql

from what I can tell, no.

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.
