# Update
RUN apt-get update

# Add mariadb-client package that is needed in the OpenEMR Backup gui, which does direct command mysql commands
# Add imagemagick that is needed for some image processing in OpenEMR
# Note this basically add 160MB of space to the docker, so would be nice for OpenEMR to not require this stuff
#  and instead rely on php scripts, if possible.

But i am getting error
checking for stdint.h…yes
checking for unistd.h…yes
checking for lber ldap…no
configure: error: Package requirements (lber ldap) were not met:

No package ‘lber’ found
No package ‘ldap’ found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LDAP_CFLAGS
and LDAP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Also please guide me if there is other way to build custom image .
Thanks

I see this problem too. I think you may have found a bug that needs resolving. Could you open an issue on the repo about it?

The Dockerfile located at docker/library/dockers/dev-php-fpm-8-5/Dockerfile in t…he OpenEMR repository fails when installing the PHP ldap extension using [install-php-extensions](https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer). The error is due to missing lber and ldap pkg-config files during build time, which results in the following: `configure: error: Package requirements (lber ldap) were not met: No package 'lber' found No package 'ldap' found ` To reproduce this issue : [github.com/openemr/openemr](https://github.com/openemr/openemr/blob/master/docker/library/dockers/dev-php-fpm-8-5/Dockerfile) [docker/library/dockers/dev-php-fpm-8-5/Dockerfile](https://github.com/openemr/openemr/blob/master/docker/library/dockers/dev-php-fpm-8-5/Dockerfile)
