Of course the real subject is xdebug and phpize, but since it's probably me misinterpreting the instructions about the script i'm posting my question here;

I'm running mac osx10.7.5

This is the FAQ page I'm talking about: http://www.xdebug.org/docs/faq#custom-phpize

On this page, it says:

you can run configure as follows:
1. /full/path/to/php/bin/phpize
2. ./configure --with-php-config=/full/path/to/php/bin/php-config

To me this looks like 2 commands. So if I execute the first command, I get 

grep: /usr/include/php/main/php.h: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/include/php/Zend/zend_modules.h: No such file or directory
grep: /usr/include/php/Zend/zend_extensions.h: No such file or directory
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:        
Zend Module Api No:     
Zend Extension Api No:  
Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.

Ok so in case they mean it is one command consisting of 2 parts I also tried /usr/bin/phpize ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config

and this gave me the exact message as above. I'm really wondering if this is my not knowing how to turn the iformation into a decent command in the terminal or if there is even something else that is wrong.

It would appear that you do not have autoconf installed. You might check out this question on StackOverflow, as it has a few different answers on ways to install autoconf on OSX.

  • This does send me deeper down the rabbit hole but seems pretty useful in order to get there eventually. I will definitely update when I figured it out.
