building from cvs, problem with libtool

pahikua

I read in the documentaion that when building from cvs you must have automake-1.4, autoconf-2.13 and libtool-1.4+ so I downloaded and compiled all those to my mac running os 10.2.6. I copied autoconf and automake from /usr/local/bin to usr bin and the php ./configure picked up the changes but it still won't recognize that I copied over libtool. The php configure exits with this error:

buildconf: libtool version 1.4.2 found.
You need libtool version 1.4.3 or newer installed to build PHP from CVS.

If I go into /usr/bin though and enter libtool --version in the terminal it shows 1.4.3. Is it reading libtool from another location? I'm lost on this one. I wouldn't be using cvs but I want to test out Vulcan Logic SRM

Thanks for the Help

Hi,

first of all check the PATH environment variable that /usr/bin comes first.
Second you could try to remove libtool from the php source directory and create a symlink to the libtool in /usr/bin.

One more thing:

did you execute libtool --help or ./libtool --help in /usr/bin ?

I checked my PATH, it's definately not first. How do I go about getting it first?

As far as the second option I know how to create symbolic links but how do I remove the libtool from the php source?

I did try ./libtool --help but the only thing I could make of it was how to check for the version. Pretty new at this. I've been wanting to learn how to build php for a long time.

You can set it by

export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

What version do you get if you execute ./libtool --help in the php source directory ?

Which OS do you use ?

I'm using mac os 10.2.6 and tcsh shell.

Funny thing, now when I use ./libtool --version i'm getting 1.4. The install must have gone through. PHP is still getting an error message though that it's using 1.4.2.

Ok,

where did you try ./libtool --version ? In /usr/bin or in the php source directory. I'd suggest to check if libtool in /usr/local/bin has the correct version. Then set the PATH environment variable so that /usr/local/bin comes first and rerun libtool --version. If it still doesn't show the version 1.4.3 I'd suggest to recompile libtool, remove libtool from the php source directory and copy the libtool from /usr/local/bin to the php source tree.
