Bug Description

As described here:
http://www.nigeldunn.com/2011/05/14/ubuntu-11-04-libjpeg-so-libpng-so-php-installation-issues/

There is no proper fix yet for libpng - just manually symlinking, which is bad.

For libjpeg, I was able to use the "libjpeg8-dev" package and that resolved it.

I believe this is a multiarch issue, and I am not sure if Ubuntu can provide a fix (perhaps drop a symlink in the right places through libpng-dev?) or push/suggest the right way for PHP to detect the library location.

It might also be fixed by the same approach used here:

Working configure string (for PHP 5.3.6, but was the same since PHP 5.3.3)

./configure \

--with-jpeg-dir \

Either of these won't work due to PHP trying to locate libpng.so.

This could be filed under libpng perhaps, as that seems like the place to put a workaround; not sure.

Thanks for reporting this bug.

Is this issue when trying to build php5 from upstream source, or from the ubuntu source packages?

Thanks.

Building it from source from php.net. Not Ubuntu source packages.

As this is built from source and not a rebuild of php5 Ubuntu package, i'm going to mark that task Invalid.

Thanks.

I don't consider that correct. It worked fine prior to 11.04.

I consider this a regression, all that needs to be done is add a symlink in the libpng package and a symlink in libjpeg (possibly depending on version used) and PHP is happy.

Michael,

the 5.3.7 should be OK. The upstream has changed the .m4 macros to check just for headers.
