Solaris 8 configure script not working. Help!

nucleus

OS: Solaris 8 kernel patch 21
PHP: 4.3.2 & May 29 snapshot
Web server: iPlanet 6

I'm getting this error when I try to run configure script:

configure: error: ZTS currently requires working POSIX threads. We were unable to verify that your system supports Pthreads.

How can I get this to run configure properly? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

look at the config.log to find the exact error.
In your /usr/lib directory should be a file called libpthread.so. You might want to export the following environment variables prior to executing configure

CFLAGS="-D_REENTRANT"
LDFLAGS="-lpthread"

run make distclean after each unsuccessfull configure because some results will be cached.

I did the export as suggested and then ran the configure script again. Same err msg, so I checked the config.log and noticed that there were some missing files:

Hi,

look if those files exist in /usr/include. If not you might need to install the SUNWhea package from the Solaris CD(s).
