Re: Pspell: unable to load aspell module

Anon

Perhaps you might have forgotten this little tidbit like I did (I added comments and arrows).

From the pspell manual (chapter 2):

After all the pspell modules are installed
// (in other words, after you have installed aspell)

// now in pspell source directory
--> cd modules
--> ./add-modules
--> cd ..
make
make install
Which will link in the pspell modules.

After installing pspell/aspell that way, and trying to compile PHP, the configure fails with the following in the debug.log file.

gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath,/
usr/local/mysql/lib -L/usr/local/mysql/lib conftest.c -lpspell -lmysqlclient -lr
esolv -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lresolv 1>&5

r const )'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Trying to configure with:

./configure --disable-pear --with-pspell --with-imap --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.14 --enable-track-vars

GCC is 2.95.2, glibc-2.1.3

Any ideas?

I should say, it looks like something a "-lstdc++" would fix. And I can add that to the top level PHP makefile, but where do I add that to Apache's makefile? :p

If I remember right, my error had something to do with something in stdc++ too, but trying to include that library did not solve the problem.

Did you do a clean install? (make distclean on everything -- pspell, aspell, php, apache and any other modules you're adding to apache?) I think I had to start from scratch.

I'm just glad the thing's working on my site now. Even if they upgrade it, I'm not likely to mess with aspell again unless they make it easier to install. I'm not a c-programmer, so I just have to follow the instructions and hope for the best. Usually that works out pretty well, like I have compiled php/mod_ssl/apache numerous times, usually about every six months (long enough for me to forget how I did it last time).
