Description:
------------
Environment:
 * Mac OS X 10.3.4
 * aspell 0.50.5 and aspell-en 0.51-1
   (installed into /usr/local from source files)
 * PHP 4.3.8

I've verified that aspell works from the command line, 
but PHP won't compile.

I'm configuring with '--with-pspell=/usr/local' and when 
I run make, it errors out saying: "ld: ext/pspell/
pspell.o illegal reference to symbol: 
_aspell_error_number defined in indirectly referenced 
dynamic library /usr/local/lib/libaspell.15.dylib"

I have never installed pspell. And I have installed 
aspell for the first time today on this machine. When I 
run 'sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb' and then 'locate 
libpspell' I find (ignoring my build directory in /usr/
local/src):
  /usr/local/lib/libpspell.15.0.3.dylib
  /usr/local/lib/libpspell.15.dylib
  /usr/local/lib/libpspell.dylib
  /usr/local/lib/libpspell.la
'locate libaspell' returns: 
  /usr/local/lib/libaspell.15.0.3.dylib
  /usr/local/lib/libaspell.15.dylib
  /usr/local/lib/libaspell.dylib
  /usr/local/lib/libaspell.la

The compile error is easily fixed with a small change to 
'configure'.  PHP compiles fine, when I edit php-4.3.8/
configure and change line 71624 from:
  LIBS="-lpspell $LIBS"
to:
  LIBS="-laspell -lpspell $LIBS"

I have also talked to other Mac OS X/PHP/aspell users 
who have the same issue and the configure modification 
fixes their issue as well.

This bug is very similar to bug #23089. From looking at 
that bug, it seems that this bug might be reproducable 
on any machine that has no legacy aspell/pspell 
libraries and only the most recent aspell library.

Undoubtably, this was caused my the author of aspell 
changing the name of the library multiple times.  But 
can this relatively minor fix please be added to PHP's 
configure script?

Or would this impact Pspell users (those without the 
newer aspell)? If so, is there a way to check for this 
in the configure file? Unfortunately, I'm not an expert 
in configure files or I would attempt a patch myself.

As per sniper's request, I tried the latest CVS 
snapshot, php4-STABLE-200502152130, but received the 
same error during compile:

ld: ext/pspell/pspell.o illegal reference to symbol: 
_aspell_word_list_elements defined in indirectly 
referenced dynamic library /usr/local/lib/
libaspell.15.dylib

The fix mentioned in my first posting still works.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
