PHP 4.0 Bug #7177: The configure script tries to use a non-existant library

From: pietro.pizzo@usa.net Operating system: Solaris 2.6 PHP version: 4.0.3 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: The configure script tries to use a non-existant library In the Sybase section, the configure script adds to the $LIBS variable the library "sybtcl" which does not exists in my system. I take a look in the Sybase directory and I found only the "tcl" library. When configuring the other extensions (eg. zlib), the scritp fails because it tries to use the non-existant sybtcl library while compiling the test programs "conftest". Moreover the tcl library in /usr/local/lib (owned by the tcl/tk package) takes the precedence on the Sybase tcl library located in my Sybase directory. My configure line is: ./configure --with-apache=../apache \ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/etc \ --with-sybase-ct=/sybase \ --with-oci8 --with-oracle \ --with-gdbm --with-gd --with-pdflib --with-zlib \ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-tiff-dir=/usr/local \ --enable-calendar --enable-dbase --enable-yp \ --enable-versioning --enable-track-vars \ --enable-ftp --enable-trans-sid \ --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm This is the tail of the generated config.log file: configure:41154: checking whether to include zlib support configure:41343: checking for gzgets in -lz configure:41362: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -DXML_BYTE_ORDER=21 -L/usr/loc al/lib -R/usr/ucblib -L/usr/ucblib -R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -R/export/home/oracle/lib -L /export/home/oracle/lib -R/sybase/lib -L/sybase/lib conftest.c -lz -lsybtcl -lintl -lcomn -lct -l cs -lz -ljpeg -lpng -ltiff -lpdf -lclntsh -ldl -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lclntsh -ldl -lgen -lsocket - lnsl -lttf -ljpeg -lz -lpng -lgd -lgdbm -lresolv -lresolv -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lsocket -lsocke t -L/usr/local/lib -ljpeg 1>&5 ld: fatal: library -lsybtcl: not found ld: fatal: File processing errors.
