ID: 28496 Comment by: sjungels at adelphia dot net Reported By: rehanann at kfupm dot edu dot sa Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Aix 5.2 PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment:
I tracked this bug down to a faulty version of GNU grep. If you are having problems where no libphp4.so is generated, this may be the cause in your case also. If you have this problem you will notice the following symptoms: during the part of the php configure log that begins "performing libtool configuration..." you will see the following (or similar) messages: checking if the linker (/usr/powerpc-hardhat-linux/bin/ld) is GNU ld... no checking whether the linker (/usr/powerpc-hardhat-linux/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... no checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no checking whether to build shared libraries... no checking whether to build static libraries... yes These messages may be correct, but if you have the problem I am describing, they are caused by a bad version of grep. Check for this by typing if echo GNU | egrep '(GNU|BFD)' >/dev/null; then echo "Good egrep"; else echo "Bad egrep"; fi If you get back "Bad egrep" you are running a version of egrep which doesn't really support extended regular expressions, and this is confusing the php configure script. You can fix the problem by installing GNU grep 2.5. If you have this problem, it will have effected apache also (even though it seems to work, it is statically compiled and probably won't work with DSOs), so after installing the new grep you will have to rebuild apache and PHP Note to whoever wrote the configure script: this issue is verified on only the Buffalo Linkstation, but indications are that it may apply to all versions of GNU grep 2.4.2 and earlier. You can save PHP users hours of frustration by not relying on egrep in your scripts. One workaround is to use grep -E.
