PHP 4.0 Bug #7210 Updated: libpng not properly detected

ID: 7210 Updated by: markonen Reported By: mlong@infoave.net Status: Closed Bug Type: Compile Failure Assigned To: Comments: I'm afraid we don't have the resources to track if and when this problem is fixed in libpng. This means that any interim hack we could include with PHP now would probably stay and litter the tree indefinitely. Please send a mail about this to the php mailing list. That way it can be found from the list archives by people who encounter the problem. Thanks.

Under Tru64 UNIX (Digital UNIX/OSF) there is a slight problem in it finding the libpng library. The solution is this: cp /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.8 /usr/local/lib/libpng.so You might want to put this in the make install since it could easily throw off someone and take a while for them to figure out. The particular problem I was running into was compiling apache which included php4 which included gd which included libpng: at-lite/libexpat.a -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -Lmodules/php4 - L../modules/php4 -L../../modules/php4 -lmodphp4 -lpng -lz -lgd -lresolv -lm - lresolv -lm ld: Unresolved: png_set_sig_bytes png_check_sig png_create_read_struct png_create_write_struct png_create_info_struct png_write_info png_read_info png_set_strip_alpha png_set_packing png_set_strip_16 png_set_dither png_read_update_info png_read_image png_write_image png_write_end png_read_end png_destroy_read_struct png_destroy_write_struct png_get_error_ptr png_set_write_fn png_set_read_fn png_get_io_ptr png_get_valid png_get_rowbytes png_get_IHDR png_set_IHDR png_get_PLTE png_set_PLTE png_get_tRNS png_set_tRNS *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7210
