I have never had so much trouble building PHP as I have this time around (4.0.4pl1). mcrypt and bcmath do not work at all. also, trying to build a binary breaks everything. usually i can use the exact same configure line minus --with-apxs to create my binary and there are no probs. this time, i had to completely strip down my binary build. although i will need to rebuild these in soon (hopefully 4.0.5 will fix these probs?) i left them out for now.
anyway...
after 2 days, i finally got PHP to make install. now i get:
[root@websmith php-4.0.4pl1]# apachectl startssl
Syntax error on line 209 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: xmlXPtrNewContext
/usr/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started
has anybody else run across this at all?
