Re: Problems compiling php on Fedora Core 1

PHP has numerous dependencies based on the options you specify at ./configure time. My suggestion is that you check the .spec file in a source rpm and look at the dependencies. Also, check each of your ./configure options. Are all the dependencies these options expect satisfied? You should be able to crosscheck these on the PHP website.

Hi,

I'm trying to get php 4.3.4 to configure on a Fedora 1 box, and the configure script keeps hanging on "checking whether pwrite works...". I asked this on the php lists, but between them and google, no-one has seen this error before.

The section of 'configure' that I believe this is coming from is....

<code>
  echo $ac_n "checking whether pwrite works""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:73730: checking whether pwrite works" >&5
if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_pwrite'+set}'`\" = set"; then
  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6
else
</code>

But most of that is greek to me. Does anyone understand what that's doing? What it might be looking for, and what might be causing it to hang? I've tried it with and without mm support for sessions, but to no avail (it's checking for pwrite right after is does the session check). Can anyone lend a few brain cells? Thanks.
