I run ./configure and whether or not I pass arguments I
receive this error on 'make'.  This is the very first
step in the build:

Some previous bug reports I've seen were similar,
but for previous versions.  I tried some code edits
anyway, with their ideas in mind, but to no avail.

I'm starting to think my FreeBSD 4.4 STABLE build is
broken.

Thanks in advance :-)

works fine in FreeBSD 4.5

I'm getting the same error in 4.5-20020402-STABLE.

FreeBSD requires a #include <stdarg.h>, at least 4.5-RELEASE to get va_list. 
Use the freebsd package, because even after fixing this there are several other places where the compiles fixes. The bsd port has the neccesary patches. Here is a small patch.

Looking again, this appears to possibly be a problem with autoheader/autoconf (I'm using version 2.52) or possibly just the distributed configure file. The appropriate defines are not being set in main/php_config.h. After I went through and changed the appropriate #undef FOO to #define FOO 1 everything went fine.

Can you please try out http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz, build the configure with 2.52 and see if the problem still exists without modifying anything?
 [2002-06-09 16:47 UTC] matheny at dbaseiv dot net 
It's gone in the snapshot dated 200206091200. FYI the latest stable (php-4.2.1) version has this problem. The 06-09-1200 snapshot has some yacc problem :-)
 [2002-06-09 17:14 UTC] mfischer@php.net 
Fixed in CVS then, so closnig. 

Feel free to open a new report if you think the yacc problem is real.
