This should be fixed in CVS. Please try latest release candidate for 4.0.6 here:

I have used the newest version 4.0.6 CVS and still ger the same error. Wonder if my gcc works fine. Is there any limitation about the gcc version?

This should be fixed in CVS now. Try a snapshot from here:

http://snaps.php.net/

Make sure that the time the snapshot is created is not
older than 19:36. Otherwise the fix won't be in it.

Note also, that in the latest CVS (not the 4.0.6 branch),
the function names have been changed for socket extension.

--Jani

I have downloaded the CVS version you had specified...and still no luck....the make fails again with the exact same error.

I am trying to create a cgi executable, I run the following:

1. ./configure --enable-sockets
2. make

In the configure.log there are a few failures that involve conftest.c like the following:
------------------------------------------------------------
configure:4329: gcc -c -g -O2  -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS conftest.c 1>&5
configure: In function `main':
configure:4326: `localtime_r' undeclared (first use in this function)
configure:4326: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
configure:4326: for each function it appears in.)
configure: failed program was:
#line 4322 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <time.h>
int main() {
struct tm *(*func)() = localtime_r
; return 0; }
------------------------------------------------------------

The make returns the following ERROR:

/bin/sh /tmp/php/php-4.0.5/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc  -I. -I/tmp/php/php-4.0.5/ -I/tmp/php/php-4.0.5/main -I/tmp/php/php-4.0.5 -I/tmp/php/php-4.0.5/Zend -I/tmp/php/php-4.0.5/ext/mysql/libmysql -I/tmp/php/php-4.0.5/ext/xml/expat/xmltok -I/tmp/php/php-4.0.5/ext/xml/expat/xmlparse -I/tmp/php/php-4.0.5/TSRM  -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -DSUPPORT_UTF8 -DXML_BYTE_ORDER=21 -g -O2   -o php -export-dynamic stub.lo libphp4.la

Without --enable-sockets everything works perfectly.

This is fixed in CVS!!!
You are obviously NOT trying with the CVS snapshot. Get that latest snapshot and it will work.

--Jani

Sorry. I didn't know that the snapshots weren't been
created after the fix I committed.

But this really is fixed in CVS. So please be patient.
We're having lot of trouble with our systems at the moment.

Try checking the snaps.php.net sometimes to see if there
is newer snapshots than Jun 11th.
