xdebug not loading. not found in phpinfo() after apache restart

Question

I\'ve been scouring every resource I could find, but came up empty. I get the dreaded \"Waiting for Connection\" message in NetBeans 6.9 when I start a debug session. After much

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with XAMPP on Mac OSX 10.6.

I got no version Numbers when running phpize in the xdebug download directory.

PHP Api Version:        
Zend Module Api No:     
Zend Extension Api No

I had to install the 'Development Package' which adds /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include and other files to your XAMPP install. Installing the Development Package also fixed pecl so I tried using pecl to install xdebug.

pecl install xdebug

but apache failed to start with error

Failed loading /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so:  dlopen(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so, 9): no suitable image found.  Did find:
        /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

I tried compiling from source and got the same 'wrong architecture' errors

Finally I just used the KomodoIDE binary from active state which worked.
