#48608 [NEW]: Too-old version of libreadline is not detected during ./configure

From: shahar dot e at zend dot com Operating system: Mac OS X 10.5 PHP version: 5.3CVS-2009-06-19 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: Too-old version of libreadline is not detected during ./configure Description: ------------ The default libreadline version that comes with OS X is too old and seems to be missing symbols like rl_mark, rl_pending_input, rl_history_list, rl_on_new_line. This is not detected by ./configure I am not sure what the minimum requirement is, but adding a check for rl_pending_input in the config.m4 file fixed the problem for me (or more correctly, I got proper detection by ./configure). Reproduce code: --------------- ./configure --with-readline on a default Mac OS X setup (I think it's 4.2) Expected result: ---------------- Configure to report a too old version of libreadline Actual result: -------------- Configure works, linking ext/readline fails due to missing symbols. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48608&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48608&r=mysqlcfg
