Bug #3734: configure thinks -rpath is a legal option for gcc

From: bigmike@fool.com Operating system: Redhat 6.1 PHP version: 3.0.15 PHP Bug Type: Installation problem Bug description: configure thinks -rpath is a legal option for gcc gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release) added "exit" to configure script on line 1494. Output stopped with... checking if compiler supports -Wl,-rpath,... yes line 1472 of the script is if { (eval echo configure:1473: \"$ac_link\") 1>&5; (eval $ac_link) 2>&5; } && test -s conftest${ac_exeext}; then I don't understand what's going on with that, but I think we're getting the wrong answer here. I tried... $gcc -rpath /usr/lib hello.c gcc: unrecognized option `-rpath' /usr/lib: file not recognized: Is a directory This problem manifested itself when I tried to configure --with-pgsql. I got the 'unrecognized option' error on the very last line of compilation. gcc -shared -o libphp3.so ./mod_php3.o libmodphp3-so.a -L/usr/local/lib -lgd -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -lpq -lexpat -L/usr/local/easysoft/oob/client/lib -lesoobclient -lgdbm pcrelib/libpcre.a -lpam -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lresolv -Lpcrelib -lpcre -rpath /usr/local/pgsql/lib gcc: unrecognized option `-rpath' /usr/local/pgsql/lib: file not recognized: Is a directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=65536 make: *** [libphp3.so] Error 1 By replacing the "-rpath "/usr/local/pgsql/lib with -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib successful compilation occured.
