Installing pdf for php

Question

After an OS update (Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS) my pdflib no longer works, so I'm trying to manually install it. I eventually followed the instructions on stackoverflow

When I run

sudo pecl install pdflib

I get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ls_libpdf

Any ideas?

First install pear

apt-get install php-pear
pecl install pdflib

The ask be: 'path to pdflib installation? : ' enter '/usr/local'

Thank you! It seems that it was the path that was the problem as php-pear was already installed. – TungstenX Sep 02 '14 at 07:03
