The way php5 does its library presence checks is unusual. Apparently someone recreated autotools functionality themselves, in a way that breaks the multiarch work being done for Natty.
In reality, noone is likely to rework an 85K (non-empty) line configure script! So a smaller cheaper fix needs to be found. Attached are two small patches that allow the PHP ./configure script to find libpcre and libdb4 on a Natty (multiarch) machine. Still needed are equivalent fixes for at least some of the graphics libraries... but I need some sleep :) ** Patch added: "libpcre-is-multiarch.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/739977/+attachment/1929300/+files/libpcre-is-multiarch.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/739977 Title: PHP5 FTBFS in Natty -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
