[Php-java-bridge-users] Problem compiling version 2.0.7 on RedHat 9

[William L. <wil...@co...>]

Hello,

I've been trying to compile this module on my development web server for
the company I work for.  I can't get pass the "./configure" stage.  It
aborts with the following:

[root@cooeps php-java-bridge-2.0.7]# ./configure --with-java=/usr/local/IBMJava2-142
...
...
checking for unistd.h... yes
checking whether AF_LOCAL is declared... yes
checking whether PF_LOCAL is declared... yes
checking for socket in -lsocket... no
checking for sem_init in -lrt... yes
checking for pthreads_cflags...
checking for pthreads_lib...
configure: error: host_alias is not set. Make sure to run config.guess

I then run "config.guess" and I get the following:
i686-pc-linux-gnu

I retry with configure but still it fails in the same part.  Then I try
adding the --host parameter to the configure script:

[root@cooeps php-java-bridge-2.0.7]# ./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-java=/usr/local/IBMJava2-142
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.

checking for broken gcc installation... no
checking for abstract namespace... yes
checking for struct ucred... yes
configure: error: cannot run

And here is where I am stuck.  According to the project web page I am
complying with the minimum version requests for the tools needed to make
the build.  I am using RedHat 9 with the following packages:
- kernel-2.4.20-8
- JDK from IBM 1.4.2 (IBMJava2-142)
- gcc-3.2.2-5
- apache 1.3.28 (compiled from source)
- php 4.3.2 (compiled from source)
- libtool-1.4.3-5
- automake-1.6.3-5
- make-3.79.1-17
- autoconf-2.57-3

What can I do? any ideas?

The funny thing is that I configured the module successfully in my
workstation with Fedora Core 3 and the latest updates.

Thanx in advance,
