Bug #14594 Updated: Failed to compile/run when using Apache 2.x, unresolved symbols

ID: 14594 Updated by: jjas@engr.uky.edu Reported By: juraj@bednar.sk Status: Closed Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: Installing gnu-pth is the solution, not just a work around. Take a look at the port's Makefile: /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/Maiefile. You'll see that it also installs gnu-pth. The problem isn't just a PHP problem. I've encountered this compiling numerous packages on FreeBSD 4.x because FreeBSD <= 4 does not have a working pthread library. You have to use compiler tricks to compile threaded software and some packages still won't work unless a real thread library is installed. FreeBSD 5.0 supposedly corrects this, but I haven't tried it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-05 18:00:21] juraj@bednar.sk As you can see in the history, this is fairly common, at least a warning during ./configure would be nice (i.e. -- you can't compile this without --with-tsrm-pth and quit). Because people will always try to compile it without. Or enabling --with-tsrm-pth on freebsd by default and raising error, when the library is not found. Hm? Because now you closed the bug, provided a workaround (not a solution) and people will have to google out the workaround, since there's no documentation for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-05 14:34:16] spammerprotect@aol.com This seems to be an FreeBSD Error only. To solve first install pth-1.4 package from the ports The you have to recompile php with the option: --with-tsrm-pth, to make him use the gnu pth instead of the posix ones (that dont seem to work with FBSD) then rebuild and reinstall the php-mod and it will just work fine Cheers Fire -------------------------------------------------------- On [18 Dec 2001 6:40pm] juraj@bednar.sk wrote : I compiled standard Apache-2.0.28beta, then downloaded php-4.1.0, compiled it just with --with-mysql and --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs After sucessful make install, I tried to run /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd, which resulted in this error: Syntax error on line 3 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "pthread_getspecific" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-21 16:08:10] stimpy@broekiemedia.nl I'm using FreeBSD 4.5, Apache-2.0.35 for freebsd 4.5, mysql-3.23.49-unknown-freebsdelf4.4-i386 I compiled with --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs httpd.conf contains: LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so AddType application/x-httpd-php .php And also I get this error: Failed to start apache : Syntax error on line 217 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "pthread_getspecific" /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-01 20:59:20] erkan.boga@netiq.com I am using FreeBSD 4.5, Apache 2.0.35, GNU Pth 1.4.1 and PHP 4.2 I still get the error Cannot load /prog/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: /prog/httpd/modules/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "pthread_getspecific" ./apachectl start: httpd could not be started even if i have installed php 4.2 with the --with-tsrm-pth option I have spend now 5 hours to find a solution but i couldn't find any workaround... any ideas ? regards, erkan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-19 11:36:18] aaron@php.net This bug has already been fixed in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at http://www.php.net/downloads.php The apache2filter is known to work with Apache 2.0.35 and either CVS HEAD or the 4.2.0 branch (or the latest release candidate).
