Reported By: werner at seneweb dot com
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Compile Failure
Operating System: Slackware 10.2
PHP Version: 5.1.4
New Comment:
I uninstalled the old version (1.9.1.tgz) of GNU (?)
libiconv, the error messages came, then i installed another
version (1.9.2.tar.gz), they came again; at the end I
switched it off for php by configure php without-libiconv,
then it worked. Also, the most new progs what I
install, I compile them from .tar.gz rather than
installing .tgz (today again abaout ten) without that they
reclaim about iconv. And, php should work with both,
c-libs and gnus iconv; gnus iconv is not obsolete but
updated steadily and not only I but other people too use
it.
Anyway, the problem is reported, and the desenvolvers of
php may verify what exactly is wrong, and correct it or not
so that - like do other progs - also php works together
with all kinds of iconv

>But even switching off libiconv, the error in php consists,
Which means that you're iconv is bundled into the glibc, while the
headers are from GNU libiconv.
Which is clearly not PHP bug.

But even switching off libiconv, the error in php consists,
and the php developpers should verify and repear the calls
of libiconv, so that it can be used.

Yes, naturally I unstalled libiconv before I tried another
version, without sucess, then cames the same error
messages.
As said, meanwhile I resolved for my own use the broblem,
by including --without-iconv --without-libiconv into
the ./configure instruction.

All linuxes I know of come with libiconv bundled into the glibc code.
I'm not sure about Slackware, but please try to uninstall GNU libiconv
at all, it should work fine with the bundled one.

Yes, and I also tried it with install other versions
libiconv 1.9.1 , 1.9.2 , .tgz and with .tar.gz
re-compiling too, but all them gave the same kind of error
messages. Currently I resolved it, compiling php 5.1.4
with ./configure --without-iconv --without-libiconv ...
then its compiling/installing/running without problems.
All this indicates, that it is the programming interface to
libiconv inside php 5 what is wrong (probably, the correct
types of the parameters in the libiconv call) and should be
re-programmed.
