The existing documentation will create a conflict with system installed versions of ICU for other packages that expect ICU to be thread safe. If you use ICU 3.8.1 or later, these commands should be used instead. ./configure --enable-weak-threads make install If another applications accidentally uses PHP's ICU, there won't be a thread safety issue if these commands are used instead, and PHP will retain its single usage threaded model. The other three enable configure options are irrelevant since they are already enabled and probably aren't used by PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46469&edit=1
