I am trying to compile PHP from source on Fedora 8. The config script I am using is
./configure --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --cache-file=../config.cache --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d --disable-debug --with-pic --disable-rpath --with-bz2 --with-curl --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --without-gdbm --with-gettext --with-gmp --with-iconv --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-openssl --with-png --with-pspell --with-expat-dir=/usr --with-pcre-regex=/usr --with-zlib --with-layout=GNU --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-magic-quotes --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-sysvmsg --enable-track-vars --enable-trans-sid --enable-yp --enable-wddx --with-pear=/usr/share/pear --with-kerberos --enable-ucd-snmp-hack --with-unixODBC=/usr --enable-memory-limit --enable-shmop --enable-calendar --with-sqlite --with-libxml-dir=/usr/lib --with-xml --with-mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql_config --with-pdo-mysql --with-gd --with-pdo-odbc=unixODBC,/usr --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds --enable-mbstring --enable-soap --with-xmlrpc --with-libxml-dir=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-ldap --with-pdo-dblib=/usr/local/freetds --enable-zip --enable-fastcgi --enable-discard-path --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-mcrypt This fails with: checking for PCRE support... yes checking for ZLIB support... yes checking if the location of ZLIB install directory is defined... no checking for gzgets in -lz... no configure: error: ZLIB extension requires zlib >= 1.0.9 If I simply run ./configure --with-zlib It completes without any problems. I have zlib 1.2.3 installed as well as the devel package. The config.log ends with configure:21874: checking for PCRE support configure:22706: checking for ZLIB support configure:22753: checking if the location of ZLIB install directory is defined configure:23188: checking for gzgets in -lz configure:23207: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -L/usr/kerberos/lib64 conftest.c -lz -lpcre -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lxml2 -lz -lm -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz 1>&5 /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcom_err.so when searching for -lcom_err /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcom_err.a when searching for -lcom_err /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcom_err collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: failed program was: #line 23196 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ char gzgets(); int main() { gzgets() ; return 0; } Seeing that the simple ./configure completes, I am guessing it is some other conflict. Does anyone know what it might be? Thanks, ________________________________________ Chip Burke
