Try this, specify path to thrift source
cd YACassandraPDO
phpize
./configure --with-thrift-dir=/usr/src/thrift-0.9.2

Hi @yuanjiong199,

When you install thrift, you can try disable erlang with "--without-erlang", it worked for me:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/thrift --with-php --with-lua=no --with-java=no --without-erlang

By the way, I just finished installing it successfully, really great job YACassandraPDO team! I'll keep my eyes on it, I'm working at Orange also ;)

Hi, old bug, but for the record:

That was because of the command pkg-config thrift --modversion (I debugged the configure script).
(I am working on Debian 7.8)

pkg-config looks for a file named thrift.pc but the file now (at least with thift 0.9.3) uses a different name.

I solved it with :
ln -s /usr/local/thrift/lib/pkgconfig/thrift_c_glib.pc /usr/local/thrift/lib/pkgconfig/thrift.pc

if you try the above command it shall return a version number.

then configure works without the argument '--with-thrift-dir'

(my command line for thrift was:./configure --prefix=/usr/local/thrift --with-php --with-lua=no --with-java=no)

Compilation of YACassandraPDO work well until thrift 0.9.1
Compilation of thrift 0.9.1 work well until libssl-dev < 1.1
