[Resolved] php configure stalls when checking system type

[ttroy]

Hi,

I'm trying to install php and I'm running into problems when I attempt to run the configure script.

The configure script appears to hang when it's checking the host system type.

This is what is output when configure runs:
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8

After this, nothing happens.

I read in another thread that there is possibly a problem with the solaris sed that the script uses which causes an endless loop? The fix was to install gnu sed and have the path point to this sed instead of the solaris sed.

I tried this but nothing changed.

Is there any other known resolution??

Thank You,
Tara

A note to anyone running into the same problem:

I was able to resolve the problem by adding /usr/xpg4/bin to my path.

You may want to write the PHP guys and alert them of the problem and solution.
