Bug 37623 – mod_php-4.3.4-r2 (and php-4.3.4-r2) fails with dev-db/postgresql-7.4.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2004-01-08 09:44:13 UTC]

I have the useflag postgres set, and when doing an emerge -u mod_php (upgrading from 4.3.4-r1 to 4.3.4-r2) it fails trying to find libpq-fe.h
I have located and corrected the problem.
The problem is that postgresql 7.4.1 has changed the default locations of it's files.
The first thing I tryed was modifing php-sapi.eclass to do an:
myconf="${myconf} --with-pgsql=/usr/include/postgresql/pgsql"
if the postgres usefalg is set.
Please note that this is the new location of the postgresql stuff, but insteed of harcoding the path, one should use pg_config --includedir to get the correct path.
That fixed the problem but only to created a new one: The package could not find libpq.so.
So I looked into the configure script and it seems that you cannot use --with-pgsql=/usr/include/postgresql/pgsql and still have the configure script look for libpq.so in /usr/lib
So I made a small patch to the configure script, so it works (I will submit in a moment). But I don't think that a patch is a permanent solution, someone should notify the php developers.
I added
epatch ${FILESDIR}/php-4.3.4.postgresql.patch
to the last line of src_unpack in the mod_php ebuild to get it working.

I think a similar apporach will work on php, which fails too.
I will try it out in a moment.

Created attachment 23395 [details, diff]
Patch to fix the configure script so it finds the new postgresql files.

[Comment 2 Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2004-01-08 09:49:40 UTC]

Yeps, the patch works just as well on php-4.3.4-r2 as on mod_php

[Comment 3 Robin Johnson 2004-01-08 14:04:57 UTC]

fixed in CVS now.

did it a more portable way in all php sapi eclasses.

I'll take care of fixing it for php 4.3.5.
