I'm trying to compile PHP 4.2.3 on Debian 3.0 (woody) with gettext support. When trying to ./configure --with-gettext or --with-gettext=DIR (tried all different lib/include dirs I could think of) I always get the following error:

..
checking for GNU gettext support... yes
checking for bindtextdomain in -lintl... no
checking for bindtextdomain in -lc... no
configure: error: Unable to find required gettext library

I checked the lib and include dirs and it seems like all the libraries and headers are in place.
I've also tried the latest tarball from GNU, but that gives the same result.

I can supply my entire configure list if necessary, and would be happy to try some hints you might have.

Where is your gettext installed?

And check the config.log for more information why the checks fail. It might not be gettext related at all.

/usr/bin/gettext
/usr/include/libintl.h
/usr/lib/libc.so

I've tried the --with-gettext=/usr but it doesn't work.
What is the configure script looking for anyway? the .so files?

This is the bottom of the config.log:
=====
int main() {
bindtextdomain()
; return 0; }
configure:25664: checking for bindtextdomain in -lc

/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2

char bindtextdomain();

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

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
