I am trying to set up PHP 4.3.1 on my alpha. During final steps of make install I get segfault. Here is what I narrowed it down to: if I specify --disable-xml, it goes through. However in that case it's not very usefull, as PEAR requires xml. Specifying --enable-xml --with-expat-dir=/usr (To use system libexpat, instead of one bundled with Apache) doesn't help. As a side note, 4.2.3-r2 builds and installs, but there is some other problem, that I didn't have time to look at. alpha php-4.3.1 # emerge info Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-alpha-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-pre9 alpha EV6 GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="alpha crypt encode gif imlib jpeg libg++ mikmod motif ncurses oggvorbis oss pdflib png quicktime sdl spell truetype xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline tetex mysql gpm tcpd pam libwww perl python -X -gtk -gnome -alsa -qt -kde -cups -opengl ssl postgres ldap ipv6 nls gnupg gssapi curl xml xml2 -apache2" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="alphaev6-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mcpu=ev6 -O3 -pipe " CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=ev6 -O3 -pipe " ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="alpha ~alpha" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="ccache"
You don't say if you are trying dev-php/mod_php or dev-php/php. Which one? An off-beat idea, based on something I saw before: try USE="-crypt" emerge php (I saw something about a mcrypt/xml integration problem) also try xml2 instead of xml and see if that helps you.
1. I am using mod_php 2. Interestingly enough, I figured that I need to get rid of crypt just yesterday (even though I would very much like to use it for horde). That didn't help unfortunately. At this moment I have both xml and xml2 (perhaps that's where the problem comes in?). I will try xml2 only later today. I actually run the instruction that failed (installing PEAR with cli) through gdb, and found that it is xml extension that fails, and tried different combinations of expat library usage. (I was doing that with regular php, not ebuild, and it was exhibiting same behaviour).
digging around some more, i think there is a problem with libmcrypt and alpha hardware. could you pass me some more information from your gdb results?
I tried with -crypt and -xml (but with xml2) and still it crashes somewhere when using horde (apache gets sig11), though it does install successfully now. One problem is that I don't get php cli with mod_php ebuild, so installing pear packages by hand doesn't work very well.
PHP cli is in the base dev-php/php build. dev-php/mod_php is ONLY the apache module. installing both is fairly common. Could you capture the output of the mod_php or php configure and attach it here please?

Latest status update: problem got fixed by recompiling without -O3. Looks like compiler bug to me... :-( I'll compile php (not mod_php) with -mcpu=ev6 -O3 (my original CFLAGS) and -g and will try to find the problem.
alpha devs: based on the outcome of this, what would be the right filter-flags to put into the php stuff to downgrade to -O2 (if that works) instead of -O3
Spoken to Ilya about this on irc, if it still affects php-4.3.2, we will filter-flags on Alpha. please REOPEN if there you have any more info.
