PHP 4.0 Bug #8575: configure fails while checking for gzgets

From: muhlig@us.edu.pl Operating system: Solaris 2.6 PHP version: 4.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: configure fails while checking for gzgets ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-apache=../../apache/apache_1.3.12 --with-zlib=/usr/local/lib --with-ldap=/usr/local/ldap --enable-track-vars --enable-magic-quotes --enable-bcmath ... checking whether to include zlib support... yes checking for gzgets in -lz... no configure: error: Zlib module requires zlib >= 1.0.9. Of course zlib 1.1.3 is properly installed. from config.log: ... configure:43634: checking whether to include zlib support configure:43835: checking for gzgets in -lz configure:43854: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -DXML_BYTE_O RDER=21 -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/ucblib -L/usr/ucblib -R/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/s parc-sun-solaris2.6/2.95.2 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/2.95.2 -R/usr/local/ldap/lib -L/usr/local/ldap/lib -R/usr/local/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/ lib/mysql conftest.c -lz -lmysqlclient -lldap -llber -lresolv -lresolv -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lsocket -lsocket -lgcc 1>&5 Undefined first referenced symbol in file uncompress /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so compress /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to conftest collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: failed program was: #line 43843 "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 gzgets(); int main() { gzgets() ; return 0; } from configure: ... LIBS="-lz $LIBS" cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF #line 43843 "configure" Obviously the source of the problem is library order during link phase. I was able to workaround the problem changing LIBS line above to: LIBS="-$LIBS -lz" However it is probably not the proper solution, please find better one.
