PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure
Bug description: configure fails libxml check
Description:
------------
Having compiled PHP without XML support on my system several times without
problem, I decided to try and include XML support.
When I run the following command:
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql
--without-pear --enable-libxml --with-gd --with-png-dir=/usr/lib
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr --enable-mbstring=all
It fails with:
checking whether libxml build works... no
configure: error: build test failed. Please check the config.log for
details.
The "config.log" shows:
configure:19959: checking whether libxml build works
configure:19986: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib
-L/usr/local/lib conftest.c
-lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lxml2 -lz -lm 1>&5
configure: failed program was:
#line 19975 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
char xmlInitParser();
int main() {
xmlInitParser();
return 0;
}
My system has libxml2 version 2.6.23, which was compiled and installed
from source not using an RPM.
I have tried a various "--with-libxml-dir" parameters including
"--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/lib" (libxml2 v2.6.23 is in "/usr/local/lib"
and v 2.4.10 in "/usr/lib").
Any help you can give will be gratefully received.
Expected result:
----------------
I expect ./configure to complete successfully.
Actual result:
--------------
./configure fails with:
checking whether libxml build works... no
configure: error: build test failed. Please check the config.log for
details.
