I have just followed the guide to setting up LAMP on Ubuntu 10.04 here http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/u ... .04-lucid/

I am trying to move a Drupal 7 site to this install but am getting an error -
Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY' in /srv/www/mysite.com/public_html/includes/database/mysql/database.inc on line 43

I googled the error and it looks like I need to install pdo - so I tried
pecl install pdo
pecl install pdo_mysql

but get "make" failed for the pdo install and
`/root/tmp/pear/temp/PDO_MYSQL/configure' failed for the pdo_mysql install

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Use

aptitude install php5-mysql

always install php extensions from apt if possible. here is a list of them
