Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49876&edit=1 ID: 49876 Comment by: vbvbrj at gmail dot com Reported by: graham dot simpson at hsbcib dot com Summary: configure fails --with-ldap Cannot find ldap libraries in /usr/lib Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: SuSE Linux 10 SP 2 x86_64 PHP Version: 5.3.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I have to same bug with compile --with-ldap on Debian x64. LDAP libraries resides in /urs/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu . I don't want to use --with-libdir, as it breaks other paths to libs for other packages, ie --with-mysql=/opt/mysql, --with-opensll=/opt/openssl The cnfigure script must be updated to handle this path for LDAP. For meantime a workaround: git checkout master; ./buildconf --force; sed -i -e 's~^\([[:space:]]*\)\(if test -f \$LDAP_LIBDIR/liblber\.a || test -f \$LDAP_LIBDIR/liblber\.\$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME; then\)$~\1if test -f \$LDAP_LIBDIR/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblber\.a || test -f \$LDAP_LIBDIR/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblber\.\$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME; then\n\1 LDAP_LIBDIR=$LDAP_LIBDIR/x86_64-linux-gnu\n\1fi\n\n\1\2~' configure; ./configure --prefix=/opt/php --with-ldap Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-21 09:49:54] yunosh@php.net Nevermind, looks like libldap seems to be the only library used for building PHP that installs into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and does *not* provide a ldap-config script or similar to determine the actual library path, like libcurl does for example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-21 09:28:46] yunosh@php.net I would like to bring this up again, considering to re-open this ticket. The LDAP extension seems to be the only extension that does *not* find the header file and libraries on 64bit distros by default, i.e. without explicitly specifying the library path. This is still true for all 5.3 versions and even 5.4.0RC1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-01 23:58:58] nessunoero at libero dot it useful howto http://wiki.lepr-e.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Smtp_Server ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-19 13:42:21] graham dot simpson at hsbcib dot com Okay, found all the software where only lib exists and created a suitable link to lib from lib64. Specifiying the --with-libdir=lib64, now means that it compiles with the --with-ldap. Thanks for the help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-19 13:16:44] graham dot simpson at hsbcib dot com Firstly, many thanks for picking this up. - The rest of my PHP configuration relies on libs in /usr/lib64 and that works. I didn't use --with-libdir=lib64 because my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SHLIB_PATH include /usr/lib64 and are set to: /opt/sybase/Connect64forODBC60/lib:/opt/sybase/httpd-2.2.13/lib:/opt/sybase/libxslt-1.1.26/lib:/opt/sybase/libxml2-2.7.5/lib:/opt/sybase/freetds-0.82/lib:/opt/sybase/openssl-0.9.8k/lib:/opt/sybase/DBA_SDK1500-16721/DataAccess/ODBC/lib:/opt/sybase/DBA_SDK1500-16721/OCS-15_0/lib:/opt/sybase/DBA_SDK1500-16721/OCS-15_0/lib3p:/usr/lib64:/lib64:/usr/X11R6/lib64:/opt/gnome/lib64:/usr/local/lib64:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64:/usr/X11R6/lib64:/var/lib/stunnel/lib64:/u01/sq/ora_1/oracle/client/11.2.0/lib:/usr/lib64:/usr/lib:/home/db2inst/sqllib/lib64:/home/db2inst/sqllib/lib32 The problem with setting --with-libdir=lib64 is that not all software that I'm linking against has libs in lib64, some are just in lib. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
