Description Robert Pajak 2003-03-24 07:43:44 UTC
checking for Ovrimos SQL Server support... no
checking whether to enable pcntl support... yes
Howdy!

I tried to compile cacti which wanted php. While configureing php it failed with
 alert shown below...


checking for fork... no
configure: error: pcntl: fork() not supported by this platform

!!! ERROR: dev-php/php-4.3.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 273, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

I tried to do sync/rsync every day to see if there are new packages but there is
still a problem...

shrine net-analyzer # emerge -p php

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] dev-php/php-4.3.1  

More funny is fact that if i explicitly untar archive with php and run configure
by hand it works!!!



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge php
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
configure failed...

Expected Results:  
It should install php :) and afterward I could install cacti
