While trying to build mod_php 5.1.0_beta-r2 I get the following error. checking size of short... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (short), 77 And the ebuild fails Looking in config.log I can find the following above the error where it cannot find the short. ./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libz.so: invalid ELF header The file /usr/lib/libz.so exists and contains the following /* GNU ld script Since Gentoo has critical dynamic libraries in /lib, and the static versions in /usr/lib, we need to have a "fake" dynamic lib in /usr/lib, otherwise we run into linking problems. See bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/4411 for more info. */ GROUP ( /lib/libz.so ) And the /lib/libz.so seems to be fine. I have been unable to find anything in google or groups. And have had two other work with me and become stumped. A few things I have allready done rebuilt glibc and zlib. php compiled fine. And also ran the ./configure command manually using the same ./configure the emerge used. I ran it on an manually on the files un tar'd from php-5.1.0b3.tar.bz2. The configure command that emerge used finished without error but when run through emerge it will not complete and result in the above error. In addition one of the fellows that was helping me work on this was able to get mod_php compiled on his box. Not to sure where else to go with this. I have the config.log posted at http://www.bauld.com/~eric/config.log Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av mod_php 2. 3.
