[RESOLVED] configure: error: utf8_mime2text() has new signature, but U8T_CANONICAL is missing

[pravinkamble]

I am trying to install php5.2 on Solaris 10.
While runing the ./configure

I am getting the folowing error.

checking for utf8_mime2text signature... new
checking for U8T_CANONICAL... no
configure: error: utf8_mime2text() has new signature, but U8T_CANONICAL is missing. This should not happen. Check config.log for additional information.

Please let me know, If somebody know the solution.

Hi,

that's an error related to the IMAP extension. Possible solutions:

1. compile without imap support

2. recompile the imap libraries prior to compiling PHP:

The manual contains some tips in the user contributed notes.
Additionally, check out this site. There's a section about IMAP (with php 4.3.x, but it should be the same with php 5.2).

solution: this is because php won't use IMAP without SSL. for some people building IMAP with SSL doesn't work and the compile IMAP with this option SSLTYPE=none

in order to make IMAP compile u need to install openssl to this folder:
/usr/local/ssl

make shure u have the ssl libs accesible too in /usr/local/ssl/lib or /lib

after that IMAP should compile just fine with SSLTYPE=unix

Hello everyone,

the problem may have been solved in this case, but I would like to share another solution that may work for some servers:

Since you have a dedicated (or VPS) server running WHM/cPanel, follow these steps to solve the problem:

1. Login to your WHM (http://yourserver/whm)

2. On the left column select Software -> Install a RPM

3. Find libc-client-devel.i386 in the list. Select it and click Install

If you are not using cPanel/WHM, just run the following command in your root shell:

For RedHat based Linux distributions:

yum install libc-client-devel.i386

For Debian based Linux distributions:

apt-get install libc-client-devel.i386

Now run again configure for your PHP installation. It should configure with no problems.

I had the same problem "U8T_CANONICAL" missing on Fedora 9.. Running yum install libc-client-devel fixed the problem.

Make sure ./configure have using

--with-openssl --with-imap --with-imap-ssl

That's means the system have instelled

openssl
courier-imap
courier-authlib
courier-authlib-base
