Bug 187818 – dev-lang/php-5.2.3-r3 cannot compute sizeof (char)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Andrea Veroni 2007-08-05 14:26:03 UTC]

During an "emerge -auvND world" php 5.2.3-r3 gave me this error:

checking for char... yes
checking size of char... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (char)
See `config.log' for more details.

build.log != config.log; you attached the wrong one.

here's the right one, config.log of php-5.2.3-r3

[Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-08-06 07:21:23 UTC]

<snip>
./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/X11R6/lib64/libedit.so: invalid ELF header
</snip>

Uh, do you have some cruft in /usr/X11R6/lib64/???

[Comment 6 Volkmar Glauche 2007-08-08 07:15:01 UTC]

Same here, on a i686 target. It seems that configure is telling gcc to look in /usr/X11R6/(lib|lib64) and finds a linker script for libedit.so, but does not follow this script.

[Comment 7 Volkmar Glauche 2007-08-08 07:18:04 UTC]

Btw, this seems to be a general problem with this configure script, there are more  references to a "broken" libedit.so in the config.log...

[Comment 8 Andrea Veroni 2007-08-08 12:11:07 UTC]

I also run revdep-rebuild to verify if all libraries were linked correctly, and it was a complete mess...
But after running revdep-rebuil (which tried to rebuild this package too) the situation was the same, cannot compile php-5.2.3-r3.
Is there something other i can do in order to verify?

[Comment 9 Volkmar Glauche 2007-08-15 19:00:50 UTC]

see also #165633 and upstream bug report http://bugs.php.net/42299

Dupe.
