Bug #2323: Instructions for getting IMAP functions are wrong

From: rfg@monkeys.com Operating system: FreeBSD 3.1 PHP version: 3.0.12 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Instructions for getting IMAP functions are wrong The PHP manual page at: http://www.php.net/manual/ref.imap.php3 Says to "copy" the c-client.a file into some directory in your link path. This is just WRONG. It doesn't work. The page should be fixed to correct say that you need to intall the library into some directory in your normal link path under the name: libc-client4.a Also, it appears that if you are on a FreeBSD 3.x system, after installing that (static) library, it is also necessary to check to see if you already had a *dynamic* version of this library on your system (specifically in your /usr/local/lib directory) and if you have such a thing there already then you MUST delete it or else the second configure step for Apache will crash and burn in a most excruciatingly confusing and unhelpful way that makes it all but impossible to tell what went wrong.
