Leopard PHP with magento woes

Yeah, another woe post. haha.

I tried to install Magento Commerce onto my Leopard system (Apple OS 10.5.x) just now, and it complained about not having “pdo_mysql”, “gd”, and “mcrypt”. Oh, how I hate having to deal with compiling extensions and plugins! Now, I know why I don’t use a VPS for hosting. I hate having to mess with things like this.

As this is a system that I don’t want to play around with, I will leave it alone. It does what it needs to do, so I’ll leave it alone. I do seem to have a surplus of other computers that I can use for development. Perhaps I’ll upgrade one of them to Leopard and figure out how to get all the extensions to work properly. I’m sure there’s got to be a walk through out there somewhere!

For now, I guess I’ll play with Drupal + ubercart. I don’t think that requires anything special.
