PHP/Zlib compilation problem

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile zlib support into PHP. I've the latest version of zlib installed, i.e 1.1.3. I'm running on Redhat 6.1, Apache 1.3.9, and the latest snapshot of PHP from snaps.php.net

I ran into a problem at the 'configure' step.

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-pgsql=/usr/include/pgsql --with-gd=/usr/ --with-ftp --enable-track-vars --enable-versioning --with-gdbm=/usr/include --with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib --with-mck=/usr/local/mck-3.3.1-i586-pc-linux-gnulibc2.1 --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/lib --with-xpm-dir --enable-calendar --with-imap --with-zlib==/usr --with-zlib-dir --with-mod-dav --with-snmp --enable-sockets --enable-yp --with-dom --enable-sablot-errors-descriptive --with-sablot --enable-wddx --with-readline=/usr

The error message is:

checking whether to include zlib support... yes
checking for gzgets in -lz... no
configure: error: Zlib module requires zlib >= 1.0.9.

But the fact is I've already had zlib v 1.1.3 installed, which is newer than 1.0.9.

What's happening here?
Any help would be appreciated.

PHP bug. They're busy adding new features, they don't want to fix simple things.

Maciek,

Thank you for your help, I was able to continue with the configure by modifying some of the code in the file you mentioned.

Best regarsd.

Joe, nice, but... be warned: this is not the only problem; other may arise later. In case of further problems check:

• configure output (last several lines)
• php-install and php-dev archives at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com - look for my mails there.
