Bug Type: DBM/DBA related
Operating System: Solaris 8
PHP Version: 4.3.4RC1
New Comment:
This form says not to submit "this is how I solved it"
comments to bugs that aren't open, but since I didn't
originally submit this bug, I don't know how else to
follow up on it. So here goes.
I had this same problem, also on Solaris, when trying
to configure php 4.3.9 with db2 or db3. My db
libraries and includes are in /usr/local/lib & /usr/
local/include, resp, and configure properly finds them.
However, when "configure" compiles conftest's that use
libdb*.*, the library option (-ldb*) is placed before
conftest.c on the command line, and hence the
compilation fails with a link error. Eg, for db3, the
config.log file shows:
configure:23508: cc -o conftest -O
-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -L/usr/local/lib -ldb3
-R/usr/ucblib -L/usr/ucblib conftest.c -lresolv -lm
-ldl -lnsl -lsocket 1>&5
which fails with:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
db_create conftest.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written
to conftest
The problem is that the "-ldb3" in the compilation
command should come after the source file conftest.c.
One way to fix this in the configure script is by
changing the lines around, eg, 23490 from
old_LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS
LDFLAGS="-L$THIS_PREFIX/lib -l$LIB $LDFLAGS"
to
old_LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS
LDFLAGS="-L$THIS_PREFIX/lib $LDFLAGS"
LIBS="-l$LIB $LIBS"
The proper fix would be to change the lines in ext/dba/
config.m4 that generate the relevant lines in
configure, but I don't speak autoconf at the moment, so
I can't produce a proper patch. The bug is present for
both db2 and db3 (and I'm guessing db4 too--I don't
have db4 installed, so I didn't test it), so multiple
changes are required.

Check the config.log for more information about why it fails.

Description:
------------
Also found this to be true in 4.3.3, but since 4.3.0 had already been
installed on the system, I believe it worked ok. The problem is that
configure complains the major version doesn't match the header. In
fact, the header was fine, the library was recompiled a couple times
and reinstalled just to be sure. To work around this, I forced
THIS_LIBS to equal $LIBS, and the configuration continued, and it
appears PHP is working okay. I really couldn't figure out why it
fails.
The version of DB3 I'm using is 3.2.9. I haven't tried another version
yet. OS is Solaris 8. PHP versions attempted, 4.3.4RC1 and 4.3.3.
Both failed in same way.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Source near line 22980 in "configure."
Expected result:
----------------
It should detect and configure for DB3.
Actual result:
--------------
checking for db3 major version... error: Header contains different
version
