Description:
------------
I am attempting to install PHP 5.2.0 cli (from tarball) onto my server.  The server is a Fedora Core 2.  I have previously installed php-4.3.10 onto this server (from tarball) without difficulty.

First Problem I ran into was the dependency on libxml.  After an initial attempt to disable PHP5s use of libxml, I gave in and (attempted to) install libxml from tarball.

Next Problem was that libxml 2.2.6.27, despite claims of being stand-alone, is in fact dependent upon python.

Fedora Core 2 has python version 2.2 preinstalled from rpms.  libxml 2.2.6.27 was not happy with this version of python.  So I ended up installing python 2.5 using a --prefix and leaving the original intact.   

Python 2.5 installed without difficulty

After some additional tweaking with ld.so.conf; libxml installed without further difficulty. also using a --prefix

However, PHP 5.2.0 cli still refused to install.  I then became very aggressive about eliminating/disabling functionality to get it to a lowest complexity build.



Reproduce code:
---------------
./configure --no-create --enable-cli --enable-pcntl --enable-posix --enable-shmop --enable-sigchild --enable-sockets --enable-memory-limit --enable-track-vars --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-config-file-path=/etc/php5 --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php5/php5.d --datadir=/var/tmp/php5/data --localstatedir=/var/tmp/php5 --sharedstatedir=/var/tmp/php5/com --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --cache-file=./config.cache --disable-debug --disable-magic-quotes --without-oci8 --with-mime-magic=/usr/share/magic.mime --enable-bcmath --disable-xml --disable-libxml --disable-dom --disable-simplexml --disable-wddx --disable-xmlreader --disable-xmlwriter --without-pear --disable-openssl --disable-pcre 

make clean
make

Note:  Despite the fact that I have specified to disable PCRE, PHP5 still insists upon compiling it.


Expected result:
----------------
for a PHP5 cli to be built that can co-exist with a PHP4 cli




Actual result:
--------------
In file included from /usr/local/src/files/php/php-5.2.0/ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c:44:
/usr/local/src/files/php/php-5.2.0/ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_internal.h:71:25: php_config.h: No such file or directory

make: *** [ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.lo] Error 1


Note: The version of perl which is on this server is v5.8.4.  This was also preinstalled via rpm.

It is not clear to me if there is a seperate PCRE package that I need to update.  It appears to me that PHP is supplying all of the code for the PCRE package.

oops
for the sake of paronia, to protect the existing PHP4 installation.   I have been testing with the
--no-create  flag

While reviewing the bug, I realized the flag was there.  When I removed it the Build proceded.

Therefore:  This Bug is Now a Feature Request for a Meaningful Warning Message when the --no-create  flag  is in use.   I have spent far too much time on trying to isolate the cause of this problem.  A simple Warning Message would have been a huge help and saved much aggravation.  Thank you.

You should be careful while selecting your options. We can't detect all mistakes.
