It is the same problem with ldap (for me), the configure test fails because probably there is a serious bug somewhere:
This is what configure tests: $ gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -lldap -llber conftest.c -lresolv -lm -lxml2 -lz -liconv /tmp/ccw7ffQY.o(.text+0x1d): In function `main': /php/ldaptest.c:299: undefined reference to `_ldap_bind_s' /tmp/ccw7ffQY.o(.data+0x0):/php/ldaptest.c:298: undefined reference to `_ldap_bind_s' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
And this is how it should be: $ gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 conftest.c -lldap -llber -lresolv -lm -lxml2 -lz -liconv
Since the test fails configure thinks that db or ldap libraries are not available.
AARGH!
incorrect c and lib order.
a typical php configure problem. before I had this with gd also. some versions even were dependent on the order of the --with-<module> statements.
but it can easily be patched on our side. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/
