I don’t know anything about MAMP or Macs… but searching for that error shows that it’s a fairly common error on OSX with PHP. According to one person, it’s possible it didn’t compile properly, but I can’t make any guesses one way or the other. You may want to look for some help with compiling extensions on some Mac forums.

I was excited to try this out. However, after installing it correctly on my Mac and making the necessary change to my php.ini in MAMP, I get the following error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.2/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/jsmin.so’ – (null) in Unknown on line 0

Any idea how to get around this?

I’ve installed jsmin.c and it’s a 1600x speedup (Yes, one six zero zero) over jsmin.php.

jsmin.php 25 secs to minify
jsmin.c 0.016 secs to minify

LIGHTNING, BABY BOY!

@Igor
I’m not sure that’s a problem with my php build, because the Gentoo Linux isn’t so new and unstable, and it’s used by a large linux comunity !
But to show you guys that I found a temporary solution for php-jsmin-1.0, that you can implement later in your configure/Makefile:

source=`dirname $0`

cc -I. -I$source -DPHP_ATOM_INC \
-I$source/include -I$source/main \
-I$source -I/usr/lib64/php5/include/php \
-I/usr/lib64/php5/include/php/main -I/usr/lib64/php5/include/php/TSRM \
-I/usr/lib64/php5/include/php/Zend -I/usr/lib64/php5/include/php/ext \
-I/usr/lib64/php5/include/php/ext/date/lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 \
-c $source/jsmin.c -o jsmin.o -fPIC -DPIC

cc -shared jsmin.o -Wl,-soname -Wl,jsmin.so -o jsmin.so

This worked very fine for me, compiled me the jsmin.so with no errors, and now I use it on 4 web servers that are in production !
Thanks for no help

@Phil, this is an issue with your php build.

@dale, I am not sure I follow. There is nothing in the package that forces the 64-bit build.
