[Typo3-dev] Weird filechecking behavoiur in install tool

[Christian Jul Jensen]

Hi

I just kickstarted my first 'from scratch' 3.6.2 site and realised
that the install tool didn't recognize my IM installation. I then
checked with a site 3.6.1 and it did work fine the problem is that in
3.6.2 there's is_file() call that checks whether combine, identify and
convert exists and that fails. The weird thing is that the files are
there, and the graphic stuff works, it's only the check that fails.

I figured it could have been that is_file was the wrong function to
use since the files are actually symlinks, so I tried changinf the
call to is_executable, is_link and file_exists, and they all failed. I
think this an error in php, since stat (the these functions use
internally) probably resolves the link, where the webserver doesn't
have read access, have anybody experienced similar behaviour?

Anyway, the trick is to install a 3.6.1 site, and afterwards change
the src to 3.6.2, and update the db, but it feels kind of stupid.

When I get the time I'll try to test better and make a bug report in
php if that is case.

Mostly for your information.
