I'm trying to get ming functioning on a dreamhost account?
I'm using php_ming 0.4.2, and PHP 5.2.9.
For whatever reason it doesn't want to work.
I'm aware that Ming doesn't necessarily work well with Debian, but I'm hoping someone has it working and could offer some tips/instructions.

Did it build? What dependancies did it require? Any notes in the error logs?

After installing php5, I followed the directions posted here.
http://www.lampdocs.com/blog/2008/07/01/how-to-install-ming-support-for-php/
ming wont show up in phpinfo.
I don't see any errors.

Looks like you need to build ming, then add --with-ming to your php build options.

My bad, I thought you indicated you installed PHP, then compiled ming.
In reply to:est -z "/usr/local/lib" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/lib"

You need to export your own paths to keep everything in your userspace.
But...
In reply to:[26 Jan 4:27pm UTC] jani@php.net
As suggested by the "EXPERIMENTAL" status, this is truly experimental
extension since it doesn't even compile. Apparently libming is also
pretty much experimental since they chose to break BC between their
0.4.x release and 0.3a which is the version PHP 5.2.x compiles fine
with. You should use the extension that is bundled with the current
libming version. Also note that ext/ming will be moved to PECL in PHP
5.3.0. (and apparently abandoned..)
So...
export PATH=$loc/bin:$PATH
# ming
curl -O http://internode.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ming/ming-php-0.3.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf ming-0.3.0.tar.gz
cd ming-0.3.0
./configure --prefix=$loc
make
make install
# php
--with-ming=$loc
* Substitute $loc with your script's location variable.
