PHP?IMAP problems

[bdemo2]

I wanted to build php with imap support .

My details:
Apache - Apache/1.3.26
PHP - 4.3.0
openssl
UWimap2002c (with the c-client library)
Solaris 9

---

Installed open ssl / UWimap:
IMAP testing yields the following results:

---

telnet localhost 109
-pop2 server disabled on the system

telnet localhost 110
+ok pop3 localhost v2003.83 server ready

telnet localhost 143
+ok[CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS
LOGINDISABLED]localhost IMAP4rev1 2003 at --todays

date--

So I presume IMAP works
Then
cd /usr/imap2002c
ln -s c-client include
mkdir lib
cd lib

ln -s ../c-client/c-client.a libc-client.a

then i tried to build php with

./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
--with-gettext --with-imap-ssl
-with-imap=/path/to/imap2002c

checks to see if imap works ...no

Now I am confused.

ANy help would be appreciated.

The configure process isn't checking for an IMAP server, so that part of your testing isn't relevant at this point.

It's looking for an IMAP library. Since you passed it

--with-imap=/path/to/imap2002c

it's looking in /path/to/imap2002c. I hope that's not what you ACTUALLY passed as an argument. Make sure you're pointing to the valid directory that holds your IMAP library.

I simply built it with

--with-imap

because I have /usr/lib/libimap.so and the configuration process by default will look in standard library locations.

Try reading config.m4 in the ext/imap directory of the PHP source code; maybe it will make some sense to you.

Ok, I created this imap tree =>

/usr//local/imap:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Jan 15 15:14 include
drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Jan 15 15:54 lib

/usr/local/imap/include:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 454 Jan 15 15:14 linkage.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 58425 Jan 15 15:14 mail.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 3822 Jan 15 15:14 rfc822.h

/usr/local/imap/lib:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 2198392 Jan 21 17:19 c-client.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 30 Jan 15 15:54 libc-client.a ->
/local/imap/lib/c-client.a

all the files are copied from imap-2001a/c-client.

./configure --with-imap=/usr/local/imap --with-imap-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-gettext --with-xml --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/apche/bin/apxs

and I still get ..
checking if imap works.....no

Hi,

there should be a file called config.log in your php source tree. Check that file to find the exact error.
Did you install the gnu packages on Solaris 9 ? It might be very difficult (or nearly impossible) to build php without installing the gnu packages on Solaris. Additionally, you might want to add the imap lib directory to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH prior to executing configure.

[bdemo2]

I am able to build php as it is with mysql,gettext,imap-ssl,xml...
but I get the error only if i try to build it --with-imap=/usr/local/imap.

This is the content of the config.log file

Hi,

the problem is that the linker can't find a library it needs, most likely the ssl library.

You might try to add the path to the imap library directory and the ssl library directory to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH prior to executing configure.

Additionally you might try to add --with-openssl to your configure call.

Hi,

I read something about a bug in php < 4.3.2 where -lcrypto and -lssl had the wrong order, it should be -lssl -lcrypto.

You might either try to change that or to test if you can successfully compile php 4.3.2 (which has some other important bug fixes).

Okay,
contents of /usr/local/ssl/lib :
libcrypto.a libssl.a pkgconfig ssleay.cnf

contents of /usr/local/imap : as shown in the previous messages

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/imap
/usr/local/ssl/lib

So I think it should find the files...

but I still get the same error....
any comments?

[tsinka]

So it might be the "wrong order" problem. Shouldn't LD_LIBRARY_PATH contain /usr/local/imap/lib instead of /usr/local/imap ?

[bdemo2]

It worked!!

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH just needed to have /usr/local/imap but I built it --with-openssl after upgrading it to php4.3.2

Thanks a lot!!!
