Bug #13644: configure script broken for recent libxml2 versions (libxml2 used in dom-xml)

From: pyxl@jerrell.com Operating system: Linux RedHat 7.0 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: configure script broken for recent libxml2 versions (libxml2 used in dom-xml) Updated from a fairly older version of libxml2 to version libxml2 2.4.5 (next to most recent) via rpm. Installed libxml2 and libxml2-devel. Went to recompile PHP, and the configure script died with: "checking for DOM in default path... not found" "configure: error: Please reinstall the libxml >= 2.2.7 distribution" Please note that the error emitted has a small problem - it should say "Please reinstall the libxml2", not "Please reinstall the libxml". But that's a detail. Determined that the more recent versions of libxml2 keep their header files in /usr/include/libxml2/libxml instead of in /usr/include/libxml, and only "$PHP_DOM/include/libxml/tree.h" is tested instead of testing "$PHP_DOM/include/libxml2/libxml/tree.h". I'd email you a fixed configure file...but I don't know who to mail it to, and the fix is so small that it'd take anyone less than 3 minutes to do. So, anyways. Fyi, I fixed this on my own system (a workaround) by doing "ln -s /usr/include/libxml2/libxml /usr/include/libxml". -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13644&edit=1
