Edited to correct version (4.2.0RC3)

The CLI version of PHP is experimental in PHP 4.2.0.
The RC3 was supposed to have it disabled by default,
but there was a bug in the configure.
Fixed in CVS and will be in next RC and the release.

Re-opened the bug report : I just tried compiling PHP 4.2.0 RC4 and the problem is still here (exact same problem as with RC3).

(changed version to RC4)

Tried with the 4.2.0 final release, the bug is still here.

The sapi/cli should be disabled by default in 4.2.0..
So it shouldn't even try to compile it if you haven't
added --enable-cli in your configure line. Do you have that?

Or is the error different now?

--Jani

Didn't change anything, the configure options are exactly (letter for letter) the same as before. I tried to add "--disable-cli" just in case as well and the result is exactly the same. I tried also with an older version of GD (1.8) got the same problem (well the error message is longer since more functions seem to be missing)

What is the compile/link line which gives that error?

OK when I try with an older version of GD using this configure :
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/home/xxxx/local \
--enable-bcmath \
--with-zlib \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-gd=/usr/local \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \
--enable-exif \
--with-mysql=/usr/local \
--disable-pear \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/home/xxxx/local/etc \
--enable-debug=no \
--enable-force-cgi-redirect=yes \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-curl=/usr/home/xxxx/src/curl-7.9 \
--with-dom=/usr/home/xxxx/local

configure works fine, and correctly detects the version of GD to use (it says "checking for gdImageCreateTrueColor in -lgd... no" which means this is indeed GD before 2.0 version which didn't support true color). I get this error when compiling :

the first error lines are the same as when I use with GD 2.0.1, the rest seems to be related to freetype ?

You have multiple gd.h and libgd.* files in your
system. Please remove all of them and reinstall only ONE
version of gd library.

And you're obviously trying to reconfigure same PHP sources but fail to cleanup properly in between the tries. Can you
please get fresh sources of PHP and try again
