[Mapserver-users] 3.7 configure error with php 4.3.1

[Vincent Schut]

I see 2 possibilities:

1. the switch 'use-system-regex' is old and obsolete, you should use 
'--with-regex=system'. About it being old, I am sure. Whether it is obsolete 
now, I am not. But it's always better to use the new version... You can check 
whether your php *really* is using the system regex by looking further in 
your phpinfo output: in the 'Standard' section, it should say:

Regex Library			System library enabled

If there is something different, your php was not compiled with the system 
regex library. Mind that the part of the phpinfo output you attached only 
shows the exact configure options as typed, not as used.

2. After compiling your php-cgi, you recompiled php as an apache module (or 
some other SAPI). This, when you do a make install, changes the header files 
of php and the php-config, so that mapserver only sees the last compiled 
version of php. You should either compile the cgi last, or use a different 
install directory for the cgi version (e.g. /usr/local/phpcgi ). You can set 
this with some prefix option(s) in the configure options.

Btw the 'http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RedHat8AndMapserver37' 
document could help you compiling and installing stuff. At least it is about 
php 4.3.x, even when you are not using ms 3.7 it might help you...

Vincent Schut.
