Cannot successfully build PHP in Fedora 9

Linux and Unix-Like Linux

Hi everyone,

I need to update PHP from 5.2.6 to the latest version, and I can't build it properly. I just upgraded Apache to 2.2.17, and that is working fine, but when I build PHP, libphp5.so is not built and placed in the Apache modules folder.

I have stripped the ./configure command down to

--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

Apache is shut down when I compile PHP.
I am logged in as root during the whole process.

I understand that Fedora 9 is an old distro, but we can't really upgrade at this moment.

This should work on Fedora 9 just fine, right?

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Where is it put instead? Is it even built? You may be able to copy it manually.

No, I don't think it is built. I ran

find . -name libphp5.so

in the install directory, and it came up with nothing. Is there somewhere else it might be located?

Try looking for it in the build directory. You may have to copy it manually.

It may have a funny name, look for '*.so*'

I've looked throughout the build directory, and I don't find anything with a .so extension. There are both libs and modules folders, but they are empty.

However, I found this message in the config.log file:

/root/install/php-5.2.16/configure:14043: undefined reference to `yp_get_default_domain'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 14026 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* System header to define __stub macros and hopefully few prototypes,
    which can conflict with char yp_get_default_domain(); below.  */
#include <assert.h>
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char yp_get_default_domain();

Is that something that I need to be concerned about?

This has been solved -- mostly due to my own stupidity, but with a little help from 'make distclean'

Thanks for all of your help.

Glad you got it working!
