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)

Replying to alakazam@…:

Could you specify your version of Mac OS

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

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.
