 New Comment:

I did mentioned that I have been doing this for a month.  Compiling is
no stranger to me because of doing this for 5 years.  To avoid getting
myself from going insane here, I decided to take your advice about
trying it again.  This time I'm putting down all of the steps I did and
post the configure's responses here.  After compiling/installing, I
still get this same fsockopen() error message, "268976720"

You have to delete config.cache when you reconfigure. Otherwise the
change will NOT be noted. So please try again..

Further notice...  I noticed the PHP version 4.3.1 on an another AIX
machine does have this same problem with the fsockopen().  So, it could
be between 4.2.3 and 4.3.1 when it all of a sudden just don't work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yea, it is a clean build.  Tried it again with php5 beta 4 from the
php.net website.  Don't see any CVS links for that.  Still get the
error but it's a different errors.  I can not make sense out of this
one.

--snip--



The output, "268976720" is the output by $errstr...  Oddly, no
displayed $errno...



I tried the --disable-ipv6 option and ran the configure, it showed that
IP V6 Support is found during the configuration.  Thought you may want
to know because I'm not sure if this may help.

Are you 100% sure you made a clean build after reconfiguring php ?
(make clean ; make)



If yes, please try building latest php5 snapshot as a cli to test your
script; it has some runtime intelligence to detect systems with broken
network stacks.

In reply to the 3 comments since my last reply.



1) Excuse my typo, so tried again on the tcp with "//" and got an errno
with "0" and errstr with "Error 0".  The fsockopen() instruction at
php.net showed that this meant an error had occur before the
fsockopen().  So, tried the "127.0.0.1" without the "tcp://" and got
the original error, with "66" and "Addr family not supported by
protocol".  You know, I did this one test by using the terminal
emulator and use the telnet command, "telnet www.google.com 80" and was
able to connected successfully and receive data from it.



2) Recompiled the latest CVS snapshot and still get the same error
message.



3) Again, recompiled the latest CVS snapshot with "--disable-ipv6"
option and still get this same error message.



Now I'm a little concern about how much of a time will be spend on this
or whether would this be dragged on like months and months or
something.
