ID: 21774 Updated by: philip@php.net -Summary: Chokes on php_version.h during configure Reported By: ven at whineandbitch dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Solaris 8 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: This has been documented, thanks for the report! :) http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/faq/build.xml It'll show up when the manual is next built. Also, linked to this faq here: http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/chapters/install.solaris.xml Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-26 13:26:16] dark_panda at hushmail dot com Confirmed. xpg4 sed works fine. Here's how sed stacks up on Solaris 8: /usr/local/bin/sed (GNU): works /usr/xpg4/bin/sed (Sun POSIX stuff): works /usr/ucb/sed (SunOS BSD-compatible): dies /bin/sed (Solaris): dies J ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-02 11:09:30] philip@php.net I was told by a user that there is a "xpg4 sed" that works just fine when compiling PHP and it's found here on a Solaris box: /usr/xpg4/bin/sed Maybe someone can confirm this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-20 13:13:31] iliaa@php.net It is a known issue that using non-gnu utilities may cause PHP install not to work. This should be documented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-20 10:25:30] ven at whineandbitch dot com I've had problems with compiling php 4.3 on 4 different solaris 8 machines. Last thing you can see on the screen is 'Updated php_version.h'. At this point it just hangs, System load goes up to 1.00. A list of processes show a high cpu usage on 'tr'. ps looks like admin 26932 77.3 0.1 928 528 pts/2 R 11:13:46 0:31 tr x- x_ top looks like 26932 admin 1 0 0 928K 528K run 1:02 93.78% tr Solution. I was to install the GNU Textutils http://www.gnu.org/directory/textutils.html Works perfect. Figured this may help other users if the same problem occures ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21774&edit=1
