Description:
------------
Also found this to be true in 4.3.3, but since 4.3.0 had already been installed on the system, I believe it worked ok.  The problem is that configure complains the major version doesn't match the header.  In fact, the header was fine, the library was recompiled a couple times and reinstalled just to be sure.  To work around this, I forced THIS_LIBS to equal $LIBS, and the configuration continued, and it appears PHP is working okay.  I really couldn't figure out why it fails.

The version of DB3 I'm using is 3.2.9.  I haven't tried another version yet.  OS is Solaris 8.  PHP versions attempted, 4.3.4RC1 and 4.3.3.  Both failed in same way.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Source near line 22980 in "configure."


Expected result:
----------------
It should detect and configure for DB3.  

Actual result:
--------------
checking for db3 major version... error: Header contains different version

Check the config.log for more information about why it fails.

This form says not to submit "this is how I solved it" 
comments to bugs that aren't open, but since I didn't 
originally submit this bug, I don't know how else to 
follow up on it.  So here goes.

I had this same problem, also on Solaris, when trying 
to configure php 4.3.9 with db2 or db3.  My db 
libraries and includes are in /usr/local/lib & /usr/
local/include, resp, and configure properly finds them.  
However, when "configure" compiles conftest's that use 
libdb*.*, the library option (-ldb*) is placed before 
conftest.c on the command line, and hence the 
compilation fails with a link error.  Eg, for db3, the 
config.log file shows:

configure:23508: cc -o conftest -O
-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -L/usr/local/lib -ldb3
-R/usr/ucblib -L/usr/ucblib conftest.c -lresolv -lm
-ldl -lnsl -lsocket 1>&5

which fails with:

Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
db_create                           conftest.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written 
to conftest

The problem is that the "-ldb3" in the compilation 
command should come after the source file conftest.c.

One way to fix this in the configure script is by 
changing the lines around, eg, 23490 from 

    old_LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS
    LDFLAGS="-L$THIS_PREFIX/lib -l$LIB $LDFLAGS"
to
    old_LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS
    LDFLAGS="-L$THIS_PREFIX/lib $LDFLAGS"
    LIBS="-l$LIB $LIBS"

The proper fix would be to change the lines in ext/dba/
config.m4 that generate the relevant lines in 
configure, but I don't speak autoconf at the moment, so 
I can't produce a proper patch.  The bug is present for 
both db2 and db3 (and I'm guessing db4 too--I don't 
have db4 installed, so I didn't test it), so multiple 
changes are required.
