Bug 7976 – Error compiling mod_php-4.2.3

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Larsen 2002-09-16 01:17:46 UTC]

When I try to emerge mod_php-4.2.3 it stops with the following error: 
 
checking for gdImageColorResolve in -lgd... no 
checking for gdImageGifCtx in -lgd... no 
checking for GNU gettext support... yes 
configure: error: Cannot locate header file libintl.h 
 
!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. 
!!! Function src_compile, Line 183, Exitcode 1 
!!! bad ./configure 
 
And it really seems like libintl.h doesn't exist on my system. 
 
I've tried unmerging and reemerging gettext 0.11.1 as I guess it should 
provide libintl.h but that didn't solve the problem. 
 
Useflags is USE="tcltk 3dnow mmx x dga opengl xv kde qt cups qtmt arts xmms 
oggvorbis doc innodb berkdb java perl gd freetype" 
 
Compiler is gcc 2.95.3

run this little script:
`emerge rsync ; emerge portage ; emerge glibc mod_php`

there is a bug open about this right now but do that to fix your problem ;)

btw binutils and ?gettext? successfuly compile

that's fine, but as SpanKY said, glibc provides libintl.h...

well?

Sorry... Life got in the way. :-) 
 
mod_php-4.2.3 is now masked but I tried it anyway and after re-emerging glibc 
it finished the configure stage. I didn't try to install it fully as the 
mask-comment said "this ebuid messes up hardcore and isn't tested". 
 
So as far as I'm concerned this is resolved. :-) 
 
Thanks
