 [2000-12-21 09:17 UTC] gkaczmarczyk at monoexpress dot com 
Software: Solaris 7 SPARC, PHP 4.0.4, Apache 1.3.14, 
gcc 2.95-2
(Although I've also tried PHP 4.0.3pl1& Apache 1.3.9 - 
with same results)

I get "Undefined symbol getaddrinfo & freeaddrinfo first 
referenced in file modules/php4/libphp4.a(network.o)" 
when compiling Apache. I get the SAME error when I 
start Apache after compiling PHP as a DSO module.

Here is the exact error:

      -o httpd buildmark.o modules.o 
modules/php4/libphp4.a modules/standard/lib
standard.a main/libmain.a ./os/unix/libos.a ap/libap.a

What is the configure line you have used?

--- Note sent to php-dev by Chuq Von Rospach ---
I've run into bug 8351 myself. here's some more information on it.

the problem occurs when you install Bind 8. The bind includes and 
bind libs are moved into /usr/local, and configure doesn't seem to 
handle it properly. The missing modules are part of the -lbind 
library from bind 8. I haven't yet got this all worked out (I may 
just punt and link against the default resolvers), but as more and 
more people move to bind 8, clean support in configure for it ought 
to be in the release.

Note from user:
I've actually figured a workaround:

Install all necessary GNU compiling packages ( autoconf, automake, bison, flex, gcc, make) FOLLOWED BY Sun compiler support packages ( As listed at http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2/Q6.2.html).
The GNU packages have to be installed before the Sun packages.

No more error messages, and PHP with Apache are working fine.

Seems that this is fixed to me, please reopen if this does not work for you Chuq.
