Description Dominik Karall 2005-03-09 05:03:53 UTC

i wanted to update php to current ~amd64 release, but it stops at a configure error:
checking for Berkeley DB4 support... yes
checking for Berkeley DB3 support... no
checking for Berkeley DB2 support... no
checking for dbminit in -ldbm... no
checking for dbminit in -lc... no
checking for dbminit in -lgdbm... no
configure: error: DBA: Could not find necessary library.

config.log output can be found here:
http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0227135/gentoo/php-5.0.3-r1_config.log

the error seems to be located here:
configure:25050: gcc -o conftest -march=k8 -mtune=k8 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -funroll-loops -pipe  -L/usr/lib  conftest.c -ldbm  -ldb-4.2 -ldb-4.2 -lgdbm -lcurl -lbz2 -lz -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl  -lxml2 -lz -lm -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lcurl -lidn -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz 1>&5

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -avu php

I found the solution on debian list:
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass5/2003-August/008500.html

you need to link /usr/lib/libdbm_compat.so to /usr/local/lib/libdbm.so
(ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.so /usr/local/lib/libdbm.so)

maybe this could be fixed in DBM.

i dont see the point ... we've gotten along just fine so far without adding this
cruft to gdbm, why now ?

Do we have a genuine libdbm in the tree?  If so, I'll just update the deps for
PHP to pull that in.

(Although, it has to be said, it'd be nice to have the DBM-compatible part of
libgdbm installed)
