New Comment:
We can add a new macro to the configure, which is used
always for the direct search of a library files. Now the list of common
paths are:
/usr/local/lib /usr/lib
With 64bit linux distros:
/usr/lib/lib64/
(not sure if if e.g. /usr/local/lib64 can exist too?)
Sparc64:
*/lib/sparcv9/
I'll look into adding the macro to make the configure
be a bit friendlier. :)

If you want support your environment we would have to change all
configure files. We would have to change all
lines of the form .../lib/... with ../$LIB_DIR/... and
add some configure magic to determine what $LIB_DIR should be (in your
case it would be sparcv9).

In response to (1):
This makes no difference. I'm not sure if we're on the same
planet. I'm not quite sure what the patch was meant to
achieve (and thus I don't understand what I was supposed
to do to take advantage of it once configure was
regenerated). I think the loop that fails to find libpng
is indeed the one you've provided the patch for, so you
and I are possibly within the same universe.
In response to (2):
> Since you obviated a system immanent feature...
Hey, I'm really confused now. I'm not at all sure what
nuance you're implying with those words. I really
don't understand why you said it at all. Can I try
saying this to you:
/usr/local/include/libpng/png.h (for both arch)
/usr/local/include/libpng/pngconf.h (for both arch)
/usr/local/lib/libpng12.so (32-bit)
/usr/local/lib/sparcv9/libpng12.so (64-bit)
PHP needs to use the files in /usr/local/include/libpng
and /usr/local/lib/sparcv9. The library path is already
known by the compiler, linker, and loader.

./configure from the 4.3.0 release contains constructs like:
for i in /usr /usr/local $PHP_PNG_DIR; do
test -f $i/lib/libpng.$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME -o -f \
$i/lib/libpng.a && GD_PNG_DIR=$i
done
The 'lib/libpng.' bit is hard-coded. But my libpng is at
/usr/local/lib/sparcv9/libpng.so
The end of configure's output is:
checking for the location of libpng... yes
checking for the location of libXpm... yes
checking for FreeType 1.x support... yes
checking for FreeType 2... yes
checking for T1lib support... yes
checking whether to enable truetype string function in GD... yes
checking for fabsf... no
checking for floorf... no
If configure fails try --with-jpeg-dir=<DIR>
configure: error: libpng.(a|so) not found.
as a user of PHP4, this message does not help me help myself because:
- it already said it found libpng.
- it says 'try --with-jpeg-dir' yet the error is for PNG.
I was able to work around this by manually hacking configure on a
one-off basis.
However, it then can't find other libraries, like OpenLDAP, because it
again has hard-coded paths.
I was hoping that PHP 4.3.0 had some semblence of 64-bit clean-ness in
its code after its disasterous run of pre-releases, but I can't even
get that far since it won't configure under a multi-mode environment
such as Solaris/UltraSPARC. Presumably it would have similar trouble
with HP and SGI systems.
