Custombuild is out of beta.

[artichoke]

FYI, I had just seen this on a 64-bit box (centos 5) and even with -fPIC wasn't able to sort it out. I did a full openssl removal and reinstall (very carefully) but couldn't get past this error with php4. I then used php5 and it all went smoothly. (custombuild php4, and customapache php4 had the error).

So I guess the moral of the story is use php5 for new systems. (unless the issue can be resolved some other way, but I couldn't find it)

I recently did a custombuild on a 64-bit CentOS 5.3 system with php4=cli and kept running into the "relocation R_X86_64_32S against a local symbol" problem. I see this reported all over the Internet and in many places in the DirectAdmin forums. First, a web page that discusses this problem and possible solutions:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3

A forum user proposed a solution (URL below) that did not work for me. I did "yum install libtool" and then made a symlink with "ln -sf /usr/lib64/libltdl.a /usr/local/lib/libltdl.a". But the symlink gets replaced by an improperly-built library during the build.

The following small patch to '/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build' (revision BUILDSCRIPT_VER=1.1.18) worked for me. It causes the Makefile for libltdl to be patched so it uses -fPIC to build libltdl.

I don't advise applying this patch unless you need it, as it has only been tested by me on a single host.

I have a fully operational server BSD 6 which does not has custombuild installed.
I would love to have cb but I'm afraid that updating a live server will cause problems like apache is now 1.3 and goes to 2.2 etc.

Can I savely install custombuild?

Thanks

You probably can; we did. To make life simpler, do NOT change any versions of anything while you convert to CustomBuild; do that later.

Note, however, that we use CentOS; we do NOT use FreeBSD. While I don't believe it will make a difference for you, I cannot guarantee that.

The error message "--enable-ftp: command not found" suggests that /bin/sh is trying to execute "--enable-ftp" as a command. In the file you included, I see that the line before "--enable-ftp" seems to end with a backslash. But does it really?

Could it be that that backslash is followed by a blank or tab?
