Hello Reini,

It is the same problem with ldap (for me), the configure test fails because probably there is a serious bug somewhere: This is what configure tests: $ gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -lldap -llber conftest.c -lresolv -lm -lxml2 -lz -liconv /tmp/ccw7ffQY.o(.text+0x1d): In function `main': /php/ldaptest.c:299: undefined reference to `_ldap_bind_s' /tmp/ccw7ffQY.o(.data+0x0):/php/ldaptest.c:298: undefined reference to `_ldap_bind_s' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status And this is how it should be: $ gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 conftest.c -lldap -llber -lresolv -lm -lxml2 -lz -liconv Since the test fails configure thinks that db or ldap libraries are not available.
