Submitted: 2007-04-06 13:22 UTC Modified: 2007-04-06 21:02 UTC
From: robe at amd dot co dot at Assigned:

Description:
------------
Installation of memcache 2.1.2 fails because the $abs_scrdir variable which is referenced in config9.m4 in the php_session.h check points to the temporary building directory and not to the include directories referenced by `php-config --includes`.

Installing memcache 2.1.0 works fine.

Reproduce code:
---------------
pear install output: http://phpfi.com/224403
autogenerated configure script: http://amd.co.at/data/memcache-broken-configure.txt

Duplicate of bug #10541.
You're using a patched build, so you have to patch memcache accordingly.

Tony, I seldom get angry at open source developers, 
recognizing the time and effort they put into software we 
can use freely, but when somebody tries to insult my 
intellect I get mad.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't php-config 
supposed to help authors of "third party" addons to find the 
right include paths on "distribution-maintained" 
installations (which fix the "broken" (WRT parallel 
installations of php4 and php5) include-file layout which 
PHP created in the first place)? And wouldn't using php-
config solve all problems which might arise with this 
situation? Leaving all Debian and Ubuntu users out in the 
rain isn't a good move; Redhat apparently never cared too 
much about forward/backward compatibility (they made a clean 
switch from RHEL4 to 5 moving from PHP4 to 5 respectively).

I'd accept if you said that you don't have the time/
knowledge/nerve to implement such a solution (knowing what a 
PITA autoconf can be) but just filing this bug as bogus is 
preposterous.

Thank you for your time,
Michael

Hi,

I've  found an easier solution without wating for anybody to fix something....
