PHP 4.0 Bug #9932: Finds wrong -lz if there are lots of build options

From: pete_lancashire@columbia.com Operating system: Solaris 7 Sparc PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: *Install and Config Bug description: Finds wrong -lz if there are lots of build options System has libz in two places in /usr/openwin/lib /usr/openwin/lib/libz.so.1 in /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libz.so -> libz.so.1.1.3 /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.1.3 /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1.1.3 The following configure options find the correct libz ------------------ ./configure \ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/httpd/conf \ --enable-track-vars \ --enable-ftp \ --enable-bcmath=yes \ --disable-debug \ --enable-memory-limit=yes \ --with-zlib=/usr/local The following generates the error checking whether to include zlib support... yes checking for gzgets in -lz... no configure: error: Zlib module requires zlib >= 1.0.9. ---------------------- ./configure \ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/httpd/conf \ --enable-track-vars \ --with-zlib=/usr/local \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ --enable-ftp \ --with-tiff-dir=/usr/local \ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \ --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 \ --with-gd=/usr/local \ --with-gdbm=/usr/local \ --enable-bcmath=yes \ --disable-debug \ --enable-memory-limit=yes \ --enable-calendar \ --enable-magic-quotes \ --with-db2=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB277 \ --with-xml I tried to eliminate one at a time different options but when I find one that by removing it will let the process finish, and then put that option into the above "success" configure above, the configure will work. I.e. it is not just one option causing the conflict. Current work around is to not use zlib for now. UPDATE: Removing the libz from /usr/openwin/lib works -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9932&edit=1
