Please recompile so that you can tell us te exact errors.

The php developer who added/maintains bzip2 support will know what I am talking about. I am not going to compile when I know this! It would be a waste of my time.

ah heck ok I'll recompile, but it's still a waste. I'll go for a coffee. :-)

The kicker about this problem is that it only shows up when php is being compiled as a CGI. I always compile twice....

Php bzip2 support requires >= 1.0.0

Redhat 6.2 bzip2-0.9.5d-2
Upgradng the stock bzip2 is not an option, there are too many packages that require the shared object files from this version.

When I first tried adding bzip2 support to php I had the same errors as you'll see below.

So to solve this, I installed bzip2-1.0.1 into /www
and told php where it is with --with-bz2=/www
all earlier releases of php 4.X worked fine with this.
Until 4.1.0, which seemingly is trying to use the headers from /usr which brings us back to php-4.1.0 is ignoring =/www for the --with-bz2 compile option.

Redhat 7.0 bzip2-1.0.1-3
This problem doesn't exist.

Redhat 7.1 bzip2-1.0.1-3
This problem doesn't exist.


Ok, here's the error

While I have your attention I've got a few unrelated questions.

1) Unix smtp server option was going to be added to 4.0.4, yet has still not been added. Any date set for this?

2) Php compiled as a module and as a cgi was supposed to have been changed so only 1 compile was necessary. Is this still in the plans?

Thanks.

It seems that this is not a php bug but a problem
with the way libtool works and how RedHat packages
the libraries. There is an easy workaround:

mv /usr/lib/libbz2.la /usr/lib/libbz2.la.old

Then configure and compile php. This should fix
the problem. If it does not, please reopen the report.

To answer your other questions:

1. Have a look at pear/Mail/smtp.php

2. Yes. It's probably going to make it into the next major
   release of php.
