PHP 4.0 Bug #5207: Cannot open sockets using (p)fsockopen - problems using configure and inet_aton

From: djordan@completeweb.net Operating system: BSDI 4.1 PHP version: 4.0 Release Candidate 2 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: Cannot open sockets using (p)fsockopen - problems using configure and inet_aton While trying to configure php-4 on BSDi 4.1 I am getting errors finding inet_aton, which in BSDi there isnt one, however there is an __inet_aton which is defined in /arpa/inet.h however I cannot get configure to use the /arpa/inet.h file. So configure constantly complains about inet_aton and thus sockets thru php4 dont work. PHP4 does compile into apache and runs just fine, Im just missing socket ability. Command line: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 ======================================= Here is an output from config.log: configure:4388: checking for inet_aton in -lbind configure:4407: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lbind -lm -ldl 1>&5 /var/tmp/ccS6N9zY.o: In function `main': /usr/home/source/php-4.0.0/configure:4403: undefined reference to `inet_aton' configure: failed program was: #line 4396 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ char inet_aton(); int main() { inet_aton() ; return 0; } configure:4447: checking for inet_aton in -lresolv configure:4466: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lresolv -lm -ldl 1>&5 ld: cannot open -lresolv: No such file or directory configure: failed program was: #line 4455 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ And an output from configure itself: <snip> Running system checks checking for missing declarations of reentrant functions... done checking whether compiler supports -R... no checking whether compiler supports -Wl,-rpath,... yes checking for sendmail... /usr/lib/sendmail checking whether system uses EBCDIC... no checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking for htonl in -lsocket... no checking for yp_get_default_domain... yes checking for crypt in -lcrypt... no checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes checking for sin in -lm... yes checking for inet_aton in -lbind... no checking for inet_aton in -lresolv... no checking for res_search in -lsocket... no <snipped> Although, later in the configure output I see this: checking for arpa/inet.h... yes I did check arpa/inet.h and it definitely defines inet_aton to __inet_aton.
