#20484 [Fbk]: Wrong detection of gnuiconv

ID: 20484 Updated by: moriyoshi@php.net Reported By: paj@pearfr.org Status: Feedback Bug Type: ICONV related Operating System: Linux RH 7.3, gnu libiconv PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-11-18 (dev) New Comment: Basically it's supposed to cause unexpected results that you install libiconv with --prefix=/usr, because libiconv would overwrite /usr/include/iconv.h that comes from glibc, which offers iconv functionality independently. It should be avoided when using linux. Anyway, could you try following commands in the top of the PHP source directory and configure again? $ rm -f include/* Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-19 09:31:30] paj@pearfr.org After a make clean, which I forgot to do before, using only '--with-iconv' I got the same error I got weeks ago during make: ext/iconv/iconv.lo: In function `zm_startup_miconv': /home/paj/projects/phpcvsbuild/php4/ext/iconv/iconv.c:139: undefined reference to `_libiconv_version' ext/iconv/iconv.lo: In function `php_iconv_string': /home/paj/projects/phpcvsbuild/php4/ext/iconv/iconv.c:217: undefined reference to `libiconv_open' /home/paj/projects/phpcvsbuild/php4/ext/iconv/iconv.c:226: undefined reference to `libiconv' /home/paj/projects/phpcvsbuild/php4/ext/iconv/iconv.c:238: undefined reference to `libiconv_close' ext/xmlrpc/libxmlrpc/encodings.lo: In function `convert': /home/paj/projects/phpcvsbuild/php4/ext/xmlrpc/libxmlrpc/encodings.c:62: undefined reference to `libiconv_open' /home/paj/projects/phpcvsbuild/php4/ext/xmlrpc/libxmlrpc/encodings.c:73: undefined reference to `libiconv' /home/paj/projects/phpcvsbuild/php4/ext/xmlrpc/libxmlrpc/encodings.c:93: undefined reference to `libiconv_close' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1 pa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-19 09:17:08] paj@pearfr.org Hello, Sorry for the answer delay, my home connection is down and/or too tired ;-) Well, using only '--with-iconv' gave me the same error. <Besides what configure params did you install libiconv with?> ./configure --prefix=/usr I cannot remove it as far as I need it for php_dom too. hth pa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-18 19:24:19] moriyoshi@php.net Besides what configure params did you install libiconv with? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-18 13:58:47] moriyoshi@php.net Michael's suggestion is really to the point. Open => Feedback ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-18 13:14:31] michael.mauch@gmx.de Can you please try --with-iconv without "=/usr" and without the "--with-iconv-dir=/usr"? Your Redhat 7.3 should have a glibc 2.2.x, which has iconv builtin, so there's AFAIK no point in installing an extra libiconv. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
