Description:
------------
I cannot override the iconv path with either: 
--with-iconv-dir=/new/path 
or 
--with-iconv=/new/path 
 
(the configure file seem to either accept both or are 
unclear as to which is needed)   
 
 
 

Reproduce code:
---------------

my configure statement is like this:
--prefix="/new/path" \
--with-config-file-path="/new/path/etc" \
--with-zlib-dir="/new/path/include" \
--with-libxml-dir="/new/path" \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-wddx \
--with-iconv-dir=/stuff/code/php-module \
--with-iconv="/new/path" \
--with-xsl="/new/path" \
--with-expat-dir="/new/path" \
--with-gd \
--with-gd-native-ttf \
--with-jpeg-dir="/new/path" \
--with-png-dir=/new/path \
--with-xmlrpc="/new/path" \
--with-zlib  \
--enable-discard-path


Expected result:
----------------
 

Actual result:
--------------
My config breaks with: 
checking libexpat install dir... no 
checking whether libxml build works... (cached) yes 
checking for XMLRPC-EPI support... yes 
checking libexpat dir for XMLRPC-EPI... /new/path 
checking iconv dir for XMLRPC-EPI... /usr/local 
configure: error: iconv not found, in order to build 
xmlrpc you need the iconv library

What does config.log say, perhaps you're missing headers? Also... as you're running linux you should not have to use any paths/external libraries in the first place, as glibc already contains a iconv implementation.

I realize that I can use my local iconv but for my setup I 
need to create something more encapsulated. I do it with 
php 4 no problem. Regardless... there seems to be an issue 
as it doesn't appear to find it. 
 
In the path I gave to with-iconv= 
I have 
/thepath 
   /include 
      iconv.h,libcharset.h,localcharset.h...more 
   /lib 
      libiconv.la,libiconv.so,libiconv.so.2,libiconv.so.2.2.0,libiconv_plug.sh..more 
 
I was trying to play with the configure file but no luck 
so far. A little lost on how it tries to get the path. But 
I'm comfortable enough modifying in any you want to

update. 
It seems that iconv directive works fine for standard php 
- I see it detect during the configure and it goes on 
fine. But if I add the --with-xmlrpc="/new/path" directive 
then it fails during the XMLRPC iconv detection which 
occurs after the regular detection. It seems to do it 
twice in this case and the 2nd one fails.

Duuhhhh 
resolved. 
My faylt. I was tagging on some configure options 
automatically using a script and they had an iconv-dir 
directive that created the conflict. Double Duh! 
Sorry to bother ya. Thanks for your time!

Hello. I have to install PHP 4 in Centos 7. My version is 4.4.8. When I add the '--with-iconv' directive I get:

checking for iconv support ... yes
... no checking for iconv
... no checking for libiconv
configure: error: Please reinstall the iconv library.

Change to --with-iconv-dir = / usr / local / libiconv (libiconv-1.13.1 compile and install in / usr / local / libiconv) and the result is:

checking for iconv support ... not
iconv checking for XMLRPC-EPI dir ... / usr / local / libiconv
checking for iconv dir for Sablotron XSL support ... / usr / local / libiconv

But, when you add the line --with-xmlrpc part of the iconv library says:

checking for iconv support ... not
iconv checking for XMLRPC-EPI dir ... / usr / local / libiconv
checking for libiconv in -liconv ... no
checking for iconv in -liconv ... no
configure: error: not found iconv, in order to build xmlrpc you need the iconv library

The config.log says:


configure:92022: checking for iconv in -liconv
configure:92041: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/libiconv/lib -L/usr/local/libiconv/lib  -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/zlib/lib -L/usr/local/zlib/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/expat/lib -L/usr/local/expat/lib conftest.c -liconv  -lexpat -lexpat -lcrypt -lpq -lxml -lxslt -lz -lz -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl  -lssl -lcrypto -lxml2 -lz -lm -ldl -lcrypt 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 92030 "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 iconv();

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

***********************
What do I do? which may be the problem? if I use --with-iconv it works in one place and not in another and the same with --with-iconv-dir. Can you help me?

Tnks.
