PHP build problem

Dear all,

downloaded PHP 4.3.2 for installation on Sun Solaris 7,
using gcc and GNU's make 3.8 and alternatively the
make that comes with Solaris (/usr/ccs/bin/make).

../configure \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

No problems reported.

make

It runs and when linking it stops with:

Undefined symbol First referenced in file
mysql_character_set_name ext/mysql/php_mysql.lo
mysql_real_escape_string ext/mysql/php_mysql.lo

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output
written to sapi/cli/php
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1


As 4.3.2 is quite new, I then downloaded 4.3.1, but
the same problem appeared.

Then I tried if the compilation of PHP 4.1.2 still
works on my system (removed config.cache), and it
does. No problems when building PHP 4.1.2.
But I urgently want to do the upgrade for security
and other reasons.

Thank you very much for any good idea.

Tony

I know it's not much help, but I had similar troubles when upgrading,
the verion I had upgraded to just wouldn't work at all, when the older
version did. That was with the Windows pre-compiled binaries too, so I
know it wasn't due to my compilation. You may not be able to run that
version, maybe because of a small bug that wasn't found that affects
your system. I just went to 4.3.2 on Linux yesterday, and so far no trouble.

As 4.3.2 does not build for me, I guess I will have to go back
until I find a version that works for me ;-)

I dont' think security's a big worry really, I haven't seen many
examples of PHP being exploited.
Maybe you could have someone compile it for you, that has the same type
system as yours? Maybe a header file or something got corrupted from
your source code lib...
