Bug #51821 [NEW]: configure fails to pick up a custom prefix for libevent

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: FPM related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:configure fails to pick up a custom prefix for libevent Description: ------------ Using a custom prefix for the libevent installation (/usr/local/libevent-1.4.13) doesn't get picked up by the configure script, even though I properly used the --with-libevent-dir option. Unless the prefix for the libevent installation is a path that ldconfig knows about, the configure fails. I could "fix" it with: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/libevent-$libevent_version/lib within my build script which gives me the idea that the configure fails to properly set its environment. Still an arcane method though. Test script: --------------- ./configure [...] --enable-fpm --with-fpm-user=php-fpm --with-fpm-group=php-fpm --with-libevent-dir=/usr/local/libevent-1.4.13 Expected result: ---------------- To run configure without errors. Actual result: -------------- ./configure says: checking for FPM build... yes checking for libevent >= 1.4.11 install prefix... /usr/local/libevent-1.4.13 no configure: error: build test failed. Please check the config.log for details. config.log says: configure:9409: checking for libevent >= 1.4.11 install prefix configure:9524: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -fvisibility=hidden -I/usr/local/libevent-1.4.13/include -L/usr/local/libevent-1.4.13/lib conftest.c -levent 1>&5 configure:9724: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -fvisibility=hidden conftest.c -L/usr/local/libevent-1.4.13/lib -levent 1>&5 configure: failed program was: #line 9713 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" char event_init(); int main() { event_init(); return 0; } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51821&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51821&r=mysqlcfg
