I have attempted and failed to build PHP 5 from the latest snapshot (19 Aug 2003).
I've just successfully built PHP 4.3.2 on this very same platform, so I thought I'd send you the post-mortem in case its of some use to you. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with C development, so I can't offer any opinion on likely reasons why the 'iconv' library seems to be failing to load. I provide below the debug.log file, and my current LD_LIBRARY_PATH and INCLUDE settings, which worked ok with 4.3.2 Let me know if theres any other information I can provide which would help debugging this... bash-2.05# cat debug.log CONFIGURE: './configure' '--prefix=/opt/php' '--localstatedir=/var/php' '--with-apache2=/usr/build/httpd-2.0.47' '--with-apxs2=/opt/apache/2.0/bin/apxs' '--with-sybase-ct=/opt/sybase/11.9.2' '--with-db4' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' CC: gcc CFLAGS: -g -O2 -pthreads CPPFLAGS: -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT CXX: CXXFLAGS: INCLUDES: -I$(top_builddir)/Zend -I/usr/local/include/libxml2 LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib -ldb-4.1 -R/usr/ucblib -L/usr/ucblib -R/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3 -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib -R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib LIBS: -ldb-4.1 -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lsocket -lgcc -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm -lsocket -lnsl DLIBS: SAPI: apache2handler PHP_RPATHS: /usr/ucblib /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3 /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib /usr/local/lib uname -a: SunOS tstsvr 5.9 Generic_112233-03 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20 gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -pthreads -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib -ldb-4.1 -R/usr/ucblib -L/usr/ucblib -R/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3 -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib -R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -ldb-4.1 -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lsocket -lgcc -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm -lsocket -lnsl 1>&5 ld: fatal: library -liconv: not found ld: fatal: library -liconv: not found ld: fatal: File processing errors.
