[SOLVED] Re: [PHP] cannot compile PHP 5.2.11 on Mac OS X 10.6.1

Hi, So I found out there are two bugs filed in bugs.php.net that are related to this problem. The bugs are http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49332and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49267. To anyone else that has the same issues as me, here is how to get around the problem if you are trying to compile a freshly downloaded copy of PHP 5.2.11 on Mac OS X 10.6.1. 1. First, open <php-5.2.11>/ext/iconv/iconv.c and edit line 197. Lines 196-198 look like this originally: --- #ifdef HAVE_LIBICONV #define iconv libiconv #endif --- You need to change it to look like this: --- #ifdef HAVE_LIBICONV #define iconv iconv #endif --- 2. When you run ./configure, prepend LIBS=-lresolv so the resulting command is: --- LIBS=-lresolv ./configure <...your options here...> --- Now when you run make you should not get a compilation error and you should be able to follow the rest of the instructions on http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php to get your PHP 5.2.11 up and running.

Hi, I am setting up my Mac Book Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.1 as a development environment for Drupal. I already successfully have MySQL 5.1.40 and Apache 2.2.11 up and running. I tried to compile PHP 5.2.11 in the following manner and keep getting an error. Any help would be great! 1. Downloaded php-5.2.11.tar.gz from php.net. The MD5 checksum of the downloaded file is the same as what is listed on php.net so I do not think the file is corrupt. 2. Expanded php-5.2.11.tar.gz by double-clicking the file I downloaded and moving the resulting folder (named "php-5.2.11") to my desktop. In terminal did the following (I am following the instructions in the box labeled "Example #1 Installation Instructions (Apache 2 Shared Module Version)" at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php) 3. cd /Users/mari/Desktop/php-5.2.11 4. ./configure --prefix=/Applications/php --disable-short-tags --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-apxs2=/Applications/apache/bin/apxs --enable-mbstring --with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql 5. make At this point, make does not complete and it exits with an error: ---start error--- Undefined symbols: "_res_9_dn_expand", referenced from:

Then at this point I only did ./configure by itself with no options, thinking that I could try to see if any of my configuration options were causing the issue.
