#42299 [Bgs->Opn]: fails to configure with libedit

ID: 42299 User updated by: volkmar dot glauche at uniklinik-freiburg dot de Reported By: volkmar dot glauche at uniklinik-freiburg dot de -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Gentoo Linux PHP Version: 5.2.4_pre200708051230-rc2 New Comment: I don't know whether this is just Gentoo specific, but there are numerous occurrences of -Wl,-rpath switches in the top level configure and acinclude.m4 scripts. On my system, these switches force ld.so to look for libedit.so in /usr/X11R6/lib, where it does not find an ELF library but a linker script. With -Wl,-rpath these scripts are not followed, and therefore linking the conftests fails.

This fails on Gentoo, because /usr/X11R6/lib has only a libedit.so linker script, but no libedit.so ELF library. I can provide an config.log upon request. Reproduce code: --------------- emerge -u php Expected result: ---------------- build php Actual result: -------------- configure stops, because it can not link libedit.so in many tests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42299&edit=1
