Hi there, last night I built php4-200107171035 on FreeBSD 4.3RELEASE. The configure line included --with-iconv (iconv-2.0_1 installed from package), and configure test for libiconv_open failed (I've never touched libiconv before, but the page linked from the PHP manual mentions iconv_open, not libiconv_open): configure:22870: checking for iconv support configure:23018: checking for libiconv_open in -liconv configure:23037: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -DHARD_SERVER_LIMIT=512 -DDOCUMENT_LOCATION="/usr/local/apache/www/" -DDEFAULT_PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/apache/bin" -DACCEPT_FILTER_NAME="httpready" -DUSE_EXPAT -R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -liconv -liconv -lgmp -lintl -lbz2 -lz -lcrypt -lm 1>&5 /tmp/ccP0RgHS.o: In function `main': /usr/local/src/php4-200107171035/configure(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `libiconv_open' configure: failed program was: #line 23026 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ char libiconv_open(); int main() { libiconv_open() ; return 0; } the built went on, however, and finished successfully. Apache failed to start with: Syntax error on line 234 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache/ libexec/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "iconv_module_entry" 1) I don't know if these two things are related, but would think so. Shouldn't the configure process bail out then? 2) If this a certain version of iconv is required, this should be stated in the iconv section of manual. The complete configure line was this: ./configure \ --with-mysql=/usr/local \ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/sbin/apxs \ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/apache \ --with-pear=/usr/local/apache/lib/php \ --with-zlib=/usr \ --with-zip \ --with-bz2 \ --with-gettext \ --with-iconv \ --with-gmp \ --enable-bcmath \ --enable-ctype \ --enable-dbx \ --enable-ftp \ --enable-mbstring \ --enable-shmop \ --enable-sysvsem \ --enable-sysvshm \ --enable-wddx \ --enable-trans-sid \ --enable-track-vars \ --enable-memory-limit \ --enable-inline-optimization uname -a: FreeBSD freepuppy.infosite.cz 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sy s/compile/GENERIC i386 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------- And the eyes of them both were opened and they saw that their files were world readable and writable, so they chmoded 600 their files. - Book of Installation chapt 3 sec 7 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
