Some more interesting things that threw me off at first. While 4.3.10
and 5.0.3 do handle lib64 much better than previous versions, and will
compile with the basic extensions enabled on a lib64 only system, only
HEAD really implements --with-libdir. These versions will break when
more extensions are enabled.
On HEAD, with-libdir has a significant effect with some of the
extensions.
However, with HEAD as of two minutes ago, it appears that the GD
extension isn't fully aware of PHP_LIBDIR. The supporting jpeg, png,
xpm, etc. libs are found correctly under /usr/lib64, but libgd itself
isn't.
Looking at ext/gd/config.m4, the trouble might be around the for loop on
line 366 (there's no hint of PHP_LIBDIR). This results in the
./configure time error of:
configure: error: Unable to find libgd.(a|so) anywhere under /usr
Even though:
# ldconfig -p | grep -i libgd
libgd.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libgd.so.2
libgd.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libgd.so
If I take the GD stuff out of ./configure, I then am using this:
./configure --with-libdir=lib64 --prefix=/usr/local/php \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-openssl \
--with-zlib \
--enable-bcmath \
--with-bz2 \
--enable-calendar \
--with-curl \
--enable-dio \
--enable-exif \
--enable-ftp \
--with-gettext \
--with-gmp \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-mhash \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config \
--enable-shmop \
--enable-soap \
--enable-sockets \
--without-sqlite \
--enable-sysvmsg \
--enable-sysvsem \
--enable-sysvshm \
--enable-wddx \
--with-xmlrpc \
--with-xsl
Which works great, and looks like it wants to compile; except for the
seemingly unrelated bug in HEAD that I noted in my previous post.
Thanks,
