Just tested it on AIX 6.1 with http 8.5.5. The problem lies in the fact that whenever you run the httpd executable for whatever reason (in this case httpd -v in the configure script) the required environment variable LIBPATH which should be pointing to wherever httpd is installed, up one directory and the lib, IS NOT SET !!! So: If httpd is installed in /usr/IBMIHS85/HTTPServer/bin/httpd, your LIBPATH environment variable should be LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:/usr/IBMIHS85/HTTPServer/lib This LIBPATH variable is NOT set to this value, when you're just logged in to compile PHP ! Maybe there is a difference in this between Linux and AIX, but on AIX you need to specify the location of http lib directory for the httpd executable to run ok. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-05-05 18:17:41] requinix@php.net Is this still relevant? Of course IBM HTTP Server is now 9.0 but AIX is still around. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-18 09:50:12] j dot lammerts at chello dot nl Description: ------------ Normally, when IBMIHS v 2.0(.47.1) is installed, the systemwide variable LIBPATH is NOT changed. Somewhere in the ./configure stage, the version of the webserver is tested (httpd -v). On AIX, when LIBPATH is not set, this fails Reproduce code: --------------- Calling httpd -v with the LIBPATH variable NOT set to the installationpath of IBMIHS/lib, produces this error : exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/IBMIHS/bin/httpd because of the following errors : 0509-150 Dependent module libaprutil-0.so could not be loaded. 0509-022 Cannot load module libaprutil-0.so. 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. This error causes the configure script to fail horribly... Expected result: ---------------- The expected result can be obtained by setting the LIBPATH variable before starting the configure script : export LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:/usr/IBMIHS/lib (or set it to wherever the lib directory for this instance of the webserver is located) (test by calling /usr/IBMIHS/bin/httpd -v....) Maybe a check for a correct result of the call httpd -v can be incorporated in the configure script. It took me weeks to figure this one out ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38129&edit=1
