#50209 [NEW]: Compiling with libedit cannot find readline.h

From: tcallawa at redhat dot com Operating system: Linux (Fedora) PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: Compiling with libedit cannot find readline.h Description: ------------ The PHP code assumes that even with libedit in use (instead of readline), that the header can be found in readline/readline.h. libedit installs its "readline.h" into editline/ (to avoid the obvious conflict with readline). Accordingly, configure claims that libedit is not properly installed, when it is. I've written a straightforward patch to fix this: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/php-5.3.0-libedit.patch It is also possible to use pkgconfig to ask libedit for its include flags (and cflags), which would return "-I/usr/include/editline", but as that was slightly more intrusive, I did not go down that road. In addition, on a system where readline-devel and libedit-devel are both installed, the existing code checking for /usr/include/readline-devel will cause a false positive when checking for libedit, and will end up doing a compile with readline's headers and libedit's library. Reproduce code: --------------- ./configure --without-readline --with-libedit Expected result: ---------------- checking for libedit readline replacement... yes checking for readline in -ledit... yes Actual result: -------------- checking for libedit readline replacement... yes configure: error: Please reinstall libedit - I cannot find readline.h -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50209&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50209&r=mysqlcfg
