Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-16 01:09:04] John at Albin dot Net As per sniper's request, I tried the latest CVS snapshot, php4-STABLE-200502152130, but received the same error during compile: ld: ext/pspell/pspell.o illegal reference to symbol: _aspell_word_list_elements defined in indirectly referenced dynamic library /usr/local/lib/ libaspell.15.dylib The fix mentioned in my first posting still works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-11 05:43:19] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-19 21:50:17] dhaveconfig at elitemail dot org same issue with OS X Server 10.3.7 and php 4.3.10. same fix resolved it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-06 20:45:00] John at Albin dot Net Description: ------------ Environment: * Mac OS X 10.3.4 * aspell 0.50.5 and aspell-en 0.51-1 (installed into /usr/local from source files) * PHP 4.3.8 I've verified that aspell works from the command line, but PHP won't compile. I'm configuring with '--with-pspell=/usr/local' and when I run make, it errors out saying: "ld: ext/pspell/ pspell.o illegal reference to symbol: _aspell_error_number defined in indirectly referenced dynamic library /usr/local/lib/libaspell.15.dylib" I have never installed pspell. And I have installed aspell for the first time today on this machine. When I run 'sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb' and then 'locate libpspell' I find (ignoring my build directory in /usr/ local/src): /usr/local/lib/libpspell.15.0.3.dylib /usr/local/lib/libpspell.15.dylib /usr/local/lib/libpspell.dylib /usr/local/lib/libpspell.la 'locate libaspell' returns: /usr/local/lib/libaspell.15.0.3.dylib /usr/local/lib/libaspell.15.dylib /usr/local/lib/libaspell.dylib /usr/local/lib/libaspell.la The compile error is easily fixed with a small change to 'configure'. PHP compiles fine, when I edit php-4.3.8/ configure and change line 71624 from: LIBS="-lpspell $LIBS" to: LIBS="-laspell -lpspell $LIBS" I have also talked to other Mac OS X/PHP/aspell users who have the same issue and the configure modification fixes their issue as well. This bug is very similar to bug #23089. From looking at that bug, it seems that this bug might be reproducable on any machine that has no legacy aspell/pspell libraries and only the most recent aspell library. Undoubtably, this was caused my the author of aspell changing the name of the library multiple times. But can this relatively minor fix please be added to PHP's configure script? Or would this impact Pspell users (those without the newer aspell)? If so, is there a way to check for this in the configure file? Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in configure files or I would attempt a patch myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29554&edit=1
