PhpSwitcher - Couldn't compile PHP 5.2.17 on Ubuntu 16.04

**securityfocus** · Apr 26th 2017

hello,

we installed a new vserver for testing imscp 1.4.3 and latest phpswitcher plugin 3.0.4:
the compilation of php 5.2 failed with following error:

> perl php_compiler.pl 5.2
configure: WARNING: bison versions supported for regeneration of the Zend/PHP parsers: 1.28 1.35 1.75 1.875 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.4.1 (found: 3.0.4).
configure: WARNING: flex versions supported for regeneration of the Zend/PHP parsers: 2.5.4 (found: 2.6.0)
configure: error: freetype.h not found.
make: *** [configure-5.2-stamp] Error 1

i googled a bit, and didnt find a solution to this problem. Is there one?

just to be complete i tried, but it didnt help.
apt-get install libfreetype6-dev
Reading package lists... Done

libfreetype6-dev is already the newest version (2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.2).

Thanks for your help!

That is surely a multi-arch issue. I'll have a look soon.
