System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)      : Apple iMac G3 400Mhz - Apple PowerBook G4 400 Mhz

Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
After having compiled, tested and installed PostgreSQL successfully a PHP 4.0.5 configure fails.




Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First configure, make, install PostgreSQL (full French description on
<http://nte.univ-lyon2.fr/nte/ressources/fiches/mosx-postgresql-install.html>).

user% get ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pub/v7.1.2/postgresql-7.1.2.tar.gz
user% tar xzf postgresql-7.1.2.tar.gz
user% cd postgresql-7.1.2
user% ./configure --enable-locale --enable-multibyte=UNICODE --enable-unicode-conversion --enable-syslog
user% make
user% sudo make install

Then try to install PHP 4.0.5 with PostgreSQL support.

user% wget http://www.php.net/distributions/php-4.0.5.tar.gz
user% wget http://graphics.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/php-4.0.5-genif.sh
user% tar xzf php-4.0.5.tar.gz
user% cp php-4.0.5-genif.sh php-4.0.5/build/genif.sh
user% cd php-4.0.5
user% ./configure --with-xml --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql
--with-zlib=/usr/lib

Configure fails with a bad zlib error.

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried different PHP config option and I found that the problem where somewhere from libpq.a, so I used the following
commandand then configuration, compilation and installation of PHP worked. 

user% sudo ranlib /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a

Best regards.
