Locating Package Installation Directories for install option

I am getting ready to install php 5.2.6 on my ubuntu linux server. I will be compiling from source with the following options:

--with-openssl[=DIR] --with-zlib[=DIR] --with-bz2[=DIR] --with-curl[=DIR]

Is there a specific linux command that will tell me the correct "Package Installation Directories" for these items. If not, any other ideas as to how to id the correct directories.


Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First, try not specifying them:

Code: Select all

--with-openssl --with-zlib --with-bz2 --with-curl

Will try that and assume the directories are standard and can be found. I guess there is no specific command for locating an installation directory? Thx. Will try.

They are distribution dependent.
You may use "locate FILENAME" or "whereis FILENAME" to find a specific file.
