Bug #12727 Updated: Bad subdirs assumed in configure and in make

ID: 12727 Updated by: sniper Reported By: php-bug@chaosmt.net Old Status: Feedback Status: Bogus Bug Type: PostgreSQL related Operating System: Solaris 7 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: User error. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-14 04:59:45] sniper@php.net So PostgreSQL was configured with: --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/7.1.2/ And PHP was configured with: --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/7.1.2/ Right? Where do you have this file: libpq-fe.h ?? Where do you have this file: libpq.a (or .so) ?? And what exactly were those errors you got?? --Jani (irc@efnet: _sniper_ ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-13 18:17:23] php-bug@chaosmt.net reproduceable - probably an easy fix during ./configure and later (after I thought I fixed things) in the make, the php install kept having trouble finding my install. postgresql was installed --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/7.1.2/, and that path was supplied to the program ($i). However, it looked like that it assumed that libraries and such were not immediately in that path. For example, it looks in $i/lib/pgsql and $i/lib/postgresql, where my path was (I though predictable) $i/lib. I did a "ln -s /usr/local/pgsql/7.1.2/lib /usr/local/lib/pgsql" and other but that didn't work. I mucked around with the (impressive) config files adding paths and that only gave limited progress. I eventually did "ln -s . pgsql" in lib and other relevant places and got much further. Then, in make, failure again, as the header file couldn't find the include. I added a hard path to the build/rules_common.mk (I believe the variable was DEFS). I hope this helps. Personal note, I hopped on IRC (efnet) to try and get some advice. Even though I asked an informed and intelligent (IMHO) question, I still got the condesending knee-jerk responses. I have now been conditioned to a) never ever hope for any help from irc (especially the ef) and b) never research an issue fully before asking a question. If you've done your research, you've spent TONS of times getting caught up, just to find out you know more than who you're asking for help. However [James] was friendly and helpful, more so than anyone. He deserves a free beer! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12727&edit=1
