 New Comment:

There is no bug here. Usually when you build something, you build it
within same environment you RUN it. Some programs REQUIRE this. Before
we've used flawed
'if-file-with-this-name-exist-assume-it-is-the-library' which of course
won't work for everyone. 

The current behaviour is the correct one and that will not be changed.
We will actually change all the places with the flawed method to use
the correct one so you can expect other extensions to "break" also.
(unless your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correct)

And doesn't that IBM-DB2 add it's libline into /etc/ld.so.conf??

Description:
------------
Revision 1.70 breaks Unified ODBC compile against IBM DB2 on Linux
(RHEL 4.0) if user has not sourced their DB2 environment.



Reproduce code:
---------------
Configure options:

./configure --without-sqlite --with-ibm-db2=/home/db2inst1/sqllib
--with-pdo-odbc=ibm-db2,/home/db2inst1/sqllib



Expected result:
----------------
I expect configure to find the DB2 header files and libraries, have its
requirements satisfied, and complete the configuration. This configure
line has worked for at least five years (well, okay, drop the sqlite
and pdo-odbc parts).

Actual result:
--------------
The configure command results in:

checking for IBM DB2 support... no
configure: error: build test failed. Please check the config.log for
details.

config.log notes that the gconftest failed because it cannot load
libdb2.so.1.

Why does this occur now? Due to the recent changes to the config.m4
file (to provide better cross-platform support), a  stricter and not at
all obvious requirement has been introduced: the user must now source
the DB2 environment before running ./configure.

If the user has sourced the $IBM_DB2/db2profile in their environment
first, then the ./configure command succeeds. The reason is that one of
the environment changes db2profile makes is to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and LIBPATH in the user's environment to include the DB2 libraries.

If you want to keep the current, stricter, behavior, I would strongly
urge you to change the 'build test failed' message to include a
suggestion along the lines of: 'Perhaps you need to source your DB2
environment: (. $IBM_DB2/db2profile) before configuring PHP.'

You could try modifying config.m4 to source the DB2 environment before
attempting to compile gconftest, but that will fail if the user has
pointed to /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1 instead of to a DB2 instance user.

You could also try modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH, etc. before
attempting to compile gconftest -- although that will likely introduce
more cross-platform issues.
