/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcom_err.so when searching for -lcom_err

his one has been bugging me for a couple of hours now, when trying to compile PHP on a 64bit OS …


Simple put it’s a missing symlink, and the config script is trying to “failover” to the version is can find which is 32 bit …

ln -sf /lib64/libcom_err.so.2 /lib64/libcom_err.so

Et voila fixed!
