We have been fighting to install gettext on a php7 build. But so far what we have concluded: gettext is not installed, and needs to enabled in the .ini file. I have successfully found the .ini file PHP use, and I have uncommented this line: ``` extension=php_gettext.dll ``` However, then I receive the following warning: ``` PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/circleci/php/7.0.2/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/php_gettext.dll' - /opt/circleci/php/7.0.2/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/php_gettext.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 ``` What am I doing wrong? If you look a the php documentation for gettext is says: `To include GNU gettext support in your PHP build you must add the option --with-gettext[=DIR] where DIR is the gettext install directory`. However, we install the php7 using the circle.yml: machine: php: version: 7.0.2 Any pointers in the right direction will greatly help. We’re stuck. ---

@canfiax this sounds like our php7 is built without `--with-gettext"`. Let me see if I can rebuild with the option. I’ll let you know once I rebuild the package. ---

@canfiax @lk22 I rebuilt all php with `--with-gettext` configure option. You can install use them with the following circle.yml. Please replace the version with your own. ```auto machine: pre: - curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/circleci/trusty/script.deb.sh | sudo bash - sudo apt-get install circleci-php-7.0.4=4 php: version: 7.0.4 ``` If this works, I can ship a new build image that preinstalls the version, so please let me know. ---

It seems the new PHP works great according to [Problem getting gettext to work on running builds](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/problem-getting-gettext-to-work-on-running-builds/3881) I’ll ship the new build image soon. ---

Hi, I just shipped the new build image. Now you don’t have to install PHP manually to get the configure options. Please let me know if you see any problems. ---
