PHP 4.0 Bug #9614: libxml 2.3.x series does not work. Config doesn't check for this.

From: ktohg@tritarget.com Operating system: Linux 2.2.18 (Slack 7.1) PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: *Install and Config Bug description: libxml 2.3.x series does not work. Config doesn't check for this. When you run configure --with-dom it only checks that you have the libxml library >= 2.2.7. However the libxml 2.3.x series doesn't work with PHP and causes undefined symbols (Either during linking or when Apache loads the module) I used the following configure options: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/apache/bin/apxs --with-zlib --with-regex=system --with-readline --with-pdflib --with-mysql=/home/mysql --with-gettext --enable-ftp --with-gd=../gd-1.8.4 --with-bz2 --enable-calendar --with-dom --with-java=/usr/local/jdk1.3 Here is a simplistic patch that does a poor job of checking that the 2.3.x series is not in use. *** ext/domxml/config.m4.orig Wed Mar 7 22:56:54 2001 --- ext/domxml/config.m4 Wed Mar 7 23:00:36 2001 *************** *** 4,19 **** AC_DEFUN(PHP_DOM_CHECK_VERSION,[ old_CPPFLAGS=$CPPFLAGS CPPFLAGS="-I$DOMXML_DIR/include" !
