BUG: still get configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (short int),77

i get this error during configure "configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (short int),77"

it was reported in snap8 but the solution put ther (installing libidn) didn't help because i compiled libidn myself and still get this error. i didn't have this problem with any other app and i compile many many of them daily

Test case

Environment

Motion version: 3.1.18
ffmpeg version: 0.4.9pre1
Shared libraries: curl, xmlrpc, ffmpeg, mysql, postgresql
Server OS: yoper, kernel 2.6.8

-- SebaT - 07 Feb 2005

Follow up

Could you be so kind and copy paste the exact output from configure into this topic. Press the edit button and paste the text between the two <VERBATIM> and </VERBATIM> tags below.

We need this to be able to guess what your problem is and how to fix it. Obviously we developers do not see this to we cannot reproduce it.

EDIT: I have the same problem on Slackware 9.1. And as the original poster doesnt seem to send his config.log I m sending mine smile Martin Susil

EDIT2: I have just tried ./configure --without-mysql --without-pgsql and it works... Configure in version 3.1.17 worked fine on the same system though.

EDIT3: Sorry for the delay - it was my first conntact with wiki page so i expected an email afters somebody responds to my bugreport- indeed in my case it ./configure --without-mysql helped so it had to be mysql isntalation problem 


This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

Fix record

I don't think this is really a Motion problem. From the above log, it appears that the problem is caused by the previous installation of the postgre-sql package. Apparently the package has been installed in /usr/local/pgsql, and the configuration test program is trying (unsuccessfully) to load the runtime library libpq.so.3 from /usr/local/pgsql/lib. Perhaps you could try checking the postgre installation, assure that ldconfig has been run, and check that libpq.so and libpq.so.3 are installed in /usr/local/pgsql/lib. If postgre-sql is installed somewhere else, you might also try the configure parameter --with-pgsql=DIR.

HTH Bill

Same Problem - even without mysql/pgsql

Hi, I am absolutely new to this, but let me try:

Environment

Motion version: 3.1.18
ffmpeg version: 0.4.9-3 pre1
Shared libraries: xmlrpc, ffmpeg, mysql
Server OS: SuSE 9.2, Kernel 2.6.8-smp

And now the problem:

I installed motion without the shared libraries mentioned above - and it worked. I then wanted to compile again to use these libraries. Therefore I extracetd the tar.gz again into a directory, installed all libraries and tried ./configure again. I receive the same error-message: 

checking size of short int... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (short int), 77

Obvously I have changed quite a bit since the first install. I have not installed PostgresSQL. I tried the --without-mysql and --without-pgsql, still the same problem. Is this part of the config.log helping?

I must admit that I am not familiar with the ldconfig-command, could someone still help please?

Here the full config.log: 

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

Thank you!

The problem is related to xmlrpc-c package of suse 9.2 :

Check that command from command line: 


xmlrpc-c-config libwww-client --libs

The output have to be: 


-L/usr/lib -lxmlrpc_client  -lxmlrpc -lxml2

Motion assigned to CONTROL_LIBS :

CONTROL_LIBS='-L -L/usr/lib -lxmlrpc_client -lxmlrpc -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm '

And the error is : 


conftest.c  -lm -lpthread -ljpeg -L/usr/lib -lavformat -lavcodec -lm -lz -L/usr/lib -lxmlrpc -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm    >&5
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.4/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml2
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

So the problem is that -lxml2 is not found in your system , try : 


find / -name "libxml2.*"  > found-xml2

And let's see if there's this shared library in the file found-xml2

If you want to compile motion without xmlrpc-c support apply the this patch 


 tar xfvz motion-3.1.18.tar.gz
 gunzip configure.in-xmlrpc-c.diff.gz
 cp configure.in-xmlrpc-c.diff motion-3.1.18/.
 cd motion-3.1.18 ; patch < configure.in-xmlrpc-c.diff
 autoconf ; ./configure --without-xmlrpc-c --without-mysql --without-pgsql

-- AngelCarpintero - 13 Feb 2005

Hi and thanks a lot!!!

I knew I had forgotten something: I never found the libwww rpm for SuSE 9.2 and then left it...

I did the following test: 

linux:/home/andi/motion-3.1.18 # xmlrpc-c-config libwww-client --libs
-L -L/usr/lib -lxmlrpc_client  -lxmlrpc -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm


linux:/home/andi/motion-3.1.18 # find / -iname "libxml2.*"
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.12
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2

Now is that good or bad? I suppose I try to compile without xmlrpc first and then get me libwww later and try again. Thanks for help & teaching me something new!!!

-- Andreas - 12 Feb 2005

Thanks so much again, just tried the patch without xmlrpc and it worked perfectly! Now I have to get an understanding of what the rpc and libwww-stuff are all about... Cheers

-- Andreas - 12 Feb 2005

Fix record

Patch included in motion-3.1.19_snap4 .
