PHP 4.0 Bug #8751: configure misdetects zlib on FreeBSD 4.1.1

From: webmaster@mocha.dyndns.org Operating system: FreeBSD 4.1.1 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: configure misdetects zlib on FreeBSD 4.1.1 When running configure for PHP 4.0.4pl1 on FreeBSD 4.1.1/i386, configure fails to properly detect FreeBSD's builtin zlib support. Zlib version 1.1.3 is preinstalled in /usr/lib/libz.{a,so}, however when configure tries to verify zlib's presence it says "zlib support requires zlib version >= 1.0.9" and terminates. It also complains that it can't find gzgets in -lz. The exact command line I used was: ./configure --with-apxs --enable-sigchild \ --enable-magic-quotes --enable-bcmath --with-bz2 \ --with-gdbm --with-ndbm --enable-ftp --with-gd=/usr/local \ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 \ --with-ttf --enable-gd-imgstrttf --with-imap \ --with-java=/usr/local/jdk1.1.8 --with-ldap --with-mhash \ --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-iodbc --with-pdflib \ --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr/local \ --with-tiff-dir=/usr/local --with-mm --enable-trans-sid \ --with-zlib=/usr --enable-sockets \ --enable-inline-optimization --enable-memory-limit Upon removing the --with-zlib flag, php compiles fine and works normally. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8751&edit=1
