The configure script is broken because it can't seem to find bindtextdomain in libc.so.6 (libc-2.1.3.so) when building an RPM from the spec for 4.0.1pl2 as given from 7.0, modifying the patches as necessary and reconfiguring LDAP, IMAP, and MySQL as static. I did 'objdump -t /lib/libc.so.6' and bindtextdomain is in fact there, but I don't yet know enough about configure scripts to be able to diagnose it further.

Here's the configure command line:

./configure --target=i386-redhat-linux --prefix=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --disable-debug --enable-pic --enable-inline-optimization --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin --with-regex=system --with-gettext --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png --with-zlib --with-db2 --with-db3 --with-gdbm --enable-debugger --enable-magic-quotes --enable-safe-mode --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-track-vars --enable-yp --enable-ftp --without-mysql --with-xml --with-mysql --with-imap --with-ldap --with-sybase-ct=/opt/sybase-11.9.2

Here's the patches that are applied to configure.in:

You need to compile and install GNU gettext :

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.10.tar.gz

And point --with-gettext= to the base install dir of gettext.
e.g. when libintl.a  is in /opt/gettext/lib use --with-gettext=/opt/gettext

Well then why is it looking for bindtextdomain in libc, and why is there in fact a bindtextdomain in libc, and how come it's not finding it, and how come 4.0.1pl2 doesn't have this problem?

[root@... ...]#objdump -t /lib/libc.so.6

My bad. I should have checked config.log. This machine is a 6.2 machine manually upgraded to 7.0, and the person who did the upgrading didn't install the db2 and db3 packages *grumblegrumble*.

From config.log:

...
configure:16757: checking for bindtextdomain in -lc
configure:16776: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   -L/usr/lib conftest.c -lc  -lttf -ljpeg -lgd -l -ldb -lgdbm -lresolv -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl  -lresolv -L/usr/lib -ljpeg 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l--library=db
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 16765 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char bindtextdomain();

int main() {
bindtextdomain()
; return 0; }

Oh, and sorry about the duplicate posts. I have to remember to hit "Cancel" when reloading the page :)

It's working after removing --with-db2 and --with-db3. The only question that remains is why ld couldn't find /lib/libdb.so.2 and /lib/libdb.so.3...
