Could you specify your version of Mac OS, as well as the output from port installed php5 ? Thanks !

(The following is for my future (~2 days) exploration of this issue, or for other people trying to fix it)

This eAccelerator is probably related :

Mac OS 10.5.5 - I've seen this on two machines:

Darwin pearl.isi.edu 9.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.5.0: Wed Sep 3 11:31:44 PDT 2008; root:xnu-1228.7.58~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh

Darwin peugeot.local 9.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.5.0: Wed Sep 3 11:29:43 PDT 2008; root:xnu-1228.7.58~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

as well as the output from port installed php5 ?

# port installed php5
The following ports are currently installed:
  php5 @5.2.6_1+apache2+fastcgi+macosx+mysql5+pear+pspell+readline+sockets+t1lib (active)

I added the following to the Port file:

configure.args-append --with-eaccelerator-userid=_www

and the installation was successful

[alakazam@…]

I have just checked the output of my configuration script ; it would seem that I have support for "spinlock semaphores", and that they are chosen as being the best semaphore type. I think adding a dependency towards spinlock semaphore support would be a more reliable fix.

Is this still an issue with php5 @5.3.0_2 and php5-eaccelerator @0.9.6-rc1_0?

[smbmacportstrac@…]

configure: error: "You need to pass the user id eaccelerator will be running under when using sysvipc semaphores"

This is still a problem with the latest macports on 10.5.7!

As "moody@" said, this fixes the problem:

configure.args-append --with-eaccelerator-userid=_www

[smbmacportstrac@…]

Cc Me!

This problem still exists on MacOS X 10.5.8 PPC with php5-eaccelerator @0.9.6 and the latest macports. As has been noted for 22 months, the fix is to include this line in the Portfile: configure.args-append --with-eaccelerator-userid=_www

alakazam insists it "worksforme", making this a bit frustrating since I've had to deal with this for quite a while now on 2 ppc machines. alakazam, were you using 10.6 at the time you confirmed that it was working for you? If that is indeed the difference, is there a way to conditionalize the configure arguments for 10.5 vs 10.6?

[alakazam@…]

Patches are obviously welcome, and I probably didn't test on mac os 10.5. The lack of response when I was looking into the bug probably made me close it.

I think adding a darwin_X variant with X corresponding to the right mac os version should work — not sure what the recommended means of os-version targeting is.

A platform variant is what you want.

see ​http://guide.macports.org/#reference.variants.platform

[ryandesign@…]

I'm just not sure why a platform variant would be needed; Don't see why --with-eaccelerator-userid shouldn't just be used always. I'll see if I can do some testing.

Ping. This problem still exists on MacOS X 10.5.8 PPC with php5-eaccelerator @0.9.6.1 and the latest macports (2.0.1). As has been noted for 3 years, the fix is to include this line in the Portfile: configure.args-append --with-eaccelerator-userid=_www.

Ping timeout. Ping. This problem still exists on MacOS X 10.5.8 PPC with php5-eaccelerator @0.9.6.1 and the latest macports (2.0.1). As has been noted for 4 years, the fix is to include this line in the Portfile: configure.args-append --with-eaccelerator-userid=_www.

It looks like the maintainer isn't on macports anymore and the ticket got assigned to nobody.
