Bug id #1756: ./configure failing within rpm

Hi All, I tried this and it barfed on me too. Anyone has had the same experience? Suggestions more than welcome so I can get a few rpms together. Makes it much easier to upgrade to Beta 2 :) Cheers, Patrick Bug id #1756 Status: Open Modify From: callus@stad.dsl.nl Date: 1999-07-20 12:51:12 Type: Installation problem OS: RH 6.0 2.2.5-15 i686 PHP Version: 4.0 Beta 1 Assigned To: Short Desc.: ./configure fails when called from within rpm [1999-07-20 12:51:12] callus@stad.dsl.nl This works well: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-system-regex --with-gd --enable-track-vars --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf --with-exec-dir=/home/httpd/php/bin --with-imap --enable-magick-quotes --with-ldap --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --with-mysql --with-snmp --with-zlib --enable-ucd-snmp-hack But the same from within rpm (3.0.2 release 6.0) fails when it checks for the C preprocessor.
