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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51821&edit=1
