php compiler stalls

[martinkuria]

Hi, i've run into some wierd compiling problems on solaris 2.7 where the
compiler stalls (i've let it wait for 26 hours just to be sure).

my configure looks like this:

./configure --with-mysql=/local/mysql --with-apxs=/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-pgsql
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/jpeg-6b --with-png-dir=/usr/local/libpng
--with-gd=/usr/local/gd --with-zlib

when I run it outputs:

loading cache ./config.cache
checking for Cygwin environment... no
checking for mingw32 environment... no
checking for working sed... sed
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.7

then it stalls does not do anything more please do advice what could be
wrong how come it's not going beyond this help

I have tried using this CVS snapshot:

http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz

But no change compiler stalls

my configure looks like this:

Hi,

some days ago I read about a similar problem on another list. There was a problem with the Solaris sed which caused an endless loop in the configure script. The solution was to install gnu sed and to ensure that the system finds gnu sed before Solaris sed by setting the PATH environment variable.

If the problem remains you might try to insert some echo's into the configure script to see where it hangs but be careful with that you could render the configure script unuseable if you place the echo's in the wrong places.

Hi Martin,

I am having the same problem when trying to run configure. I tried installing gnu sed and pointing to it instead of the solaris sed but didn't have any luck.

Were you able to resolve the problem in some other way?

Thanks,
