Question

This is the message I get after I run make after I configure.

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_res_9_init", referenced from:
      _zif_dns_check_record in dns.o
      _zif_dns_get_record in dns.o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

How I’m configuring

./configure --prefix=/usr/ --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql \
--with-pear --with-pdo-pgsql \
--with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock \
--with-pgsql --with-zlib \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr \
--with-openssl \
--without-iconv \
--enable-exif \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-mbregex \
--enable-sockets 

Please can any one help?

The actual source of the problem remains vague but what is certain is that my configuration is wrong. The conflicts creating the problem were only resolved once all traces of the native php was removed -deleted literally from /usr/bin and then I downloaded the latest stable php 5.4 tarball unpacked it and reconfigured with these options:

./configure  \
--prefix=/usr  \
--mandir=/usr/share/man  \
--infodir=/usr/share/info  \
--sysconfdir=/private/etc  \
--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs  \
--enable-cli  \
--with-config-file-path=/etc  \
--with-libxml-dir=/usr  \
--with-openssl=/usr  \
--with-kerberos=/usr  \
--with-zlib=/usr  \
--enable-bcmath  \
--with-bz2=/usr  \
--enable-calendar  \
--with-curl=/usr  \
--enable-dba  \
--enable-exif  \
--enable-ftp  \
--with-gd  \
--enable-gd-native-ttf  \
--with-icu-dir=/usr  \
--with-iodbc=/usr  \
--with-ldap=/usr  \
--with-ldap-sasl=/usr  \
--with-libedit=/usr  \
--enable-mbstring  \
--enable-mbregex  \
--with-mysql=mysqlnd   \
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd  \
--without-pear  \
--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd  \
--with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql/mysql.sock  \
--with-readline=/usr  \
--enable-shmop  \
--with-snmp=/usr  \
--enable-soap  \
--enable-sockets  \
--enable-sysvmsg  \
--enable-sysvsem  \
--enable-sysvshm  \
--with-tidy  \
--enable-wddx  \
--with-xmlrpc  \
--with-iconv-dir=/usr  \
--with-xsl=/usr  \
--enable-zip  \
--with-pcre-regex  \
--with-pgsql=/usr  \
--with-pdo-pgsql=/usr \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11 \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr  \
--with-png-dir=/usr/X11

after that I ran
$ sudo make test, then install.

then I restarted apache
$ sudo serveradmin stop/start web

then It f*** worked.
