Help with installing PHP 5.2.5 under Solaris 9

["James H. McCullars" <mccullj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I am having trouble getting the configure command to complete 
trying to build PHP 5.2.5 on my Solaris system.  We have used PHP 4 
with Apache 1.3.x for some time and I am now trying to get Apache 2 
to work and moving to PHP 5 at the same time.  The following command 
will successfully build PHP 4.4.4 on my system:

./configure  --with-mysql --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local 
--with-png-dir=/usr/local --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local 
--with-apache=../../apache/apache_1.3.37

but when I try to configure PHP 5.2.5 using this command:

./configure  --with-mysql=/var/opt/sfw/mysql --with-gd 
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr/local 
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs 
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/local --with-freetype-dir=/var/jim

it gives me this error:

configure: error: GD build test failed. Please check the config.log 
for details.

This is the last thing in config.log:

    char foobar () {}
    char foobar();
    int main() {
      foobar();
      return 0;
    }


I saw a similar error in a PHP bug report but the comments indicated 
that it was fixed as of 5.2.3.

Any ideas how I can get the configure script to complete?  Thanks...
