#43384 [NEW]: buildconf: Your version of autoconf likely contains buggy cache code.

From: kerplunk at kerplunk dot net Operating system: CentOS 5.0 PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Bug description: buildconf: Your version of autoconf likely contains buggy cache code. Description: ------------ I do not mean to offend anyone here, but this bug should not have been closed: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42417 If you read his last comment, it is exactly what I (and probably many others) are thinking: "I don't want to sound rude (I really appreciate the response), but shouldn't the build process be updated rather than recommend a 6 year old version of autoconf? Is it planned for >2.13 support someday or did the way autoconf works dramatically change? Just curious :)" Is there an easier workaround for this? I would not have had to worry about this in the first place if you guys didn't mess up the configuring of PECL extensions. :( At this point, I am not able to install the memcache PECL extension because of this "bug." Thank you. I would appreciate a better explanation of this, or at least a workaround. Reproduce code: --------------- [root@server php-5.2.5]# ./buildconf --force Forcing buildconf using default Zend directory buildconf: checking installation... buildconf: autoconf version 2.59 (ok) buildconf: Your version of autoconf likely contains buggy cache code. Running cvsclean for you. To avoid this, install autoconf-2.13. [root@server php-5.2.5]# Expected result: ---------------- It should work with the latest version of autoconf. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43384&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43384&r=mysqlcfg
