I downloaded the Fedora-25 rpm and if I can't figure all this out I will install it. Due to the age of F25 (2017) this repository rpm would backdate the PHP version I have installed. My sincere apologies for the length of this memo, and if you want to save time, please read only the last para. I know that you have other, more important, things to spend your time on. I have done some checking on the PHP configure script and I think I found some errors. The one that is crashing everything at the moment is the last one on the list below and providing links to the correct locations doesn't work. configure doesn't seem to want to follow the links. - throws error: configure:3849: cc -qversion >&5 cc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qversion'; did you mean ' --version'? cc: fatal error: no input files At this point configuration continues, (ie not fatal) BUT cc --version WILL return 6.4.1 which would pass the version check and prevent the error - throws a fatal error against confdefs.h but I can't find what package it is. A web search says to ignore this error. (configure did that anyway) This happens several times. - if test -r $i/include/openssl/evp.h; then as_fn_error $? "Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h>" "$LINENO" 5 This is the point at which configure crashes and as far as I can see the test is wrong because in my install of openssl the header files are at $PREFIX/include/openssl/....h I set up a soft link from <$PREFIX/include> to <$PREFIX/include/openssl/evp.h> but configure won't follow that link. So, I copied all of the ../openssl directory to the include directory (so the explicit test for <$i/include/evp.h> would be satisfied) but I still get the same error. I can live without imap having encryption so I removed the parameter with-imap- ssl and tried again. Same error on evp.h, so changed the only other place where openssl is defined to: "with-openssl=/usr/openssl-1.1.0i". This leads to a crash with error: "configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries". That parameter HAS to be "with-openssl=/usr/openssl-1.1.0i/lib", that is, configure does not descend the directory tree below the install directory. Christoph, I am absolutely convinced that there are errors in the configuration script for PHP-7.3.0 BUT I don't have the skill set to prove that. Do you think that a problem report should be filed with PHP or am I right out in left field? Regards.
