PHP 4.0 Bug #4575 Updated: PHP4 does not load extension modules unless LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set

ID: 4575 Updated by: zeev Reported By: blien@ozramp.net.au Status: Closed Bug Type: Dynamic loading related Assigned To: Comments: That's really something PHP can't do much about. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is something that the dynamic linker uses, and is beyond the control of PHP. pgsql.so (or whatever module you use) is dependant on other dynamic libraries (most probably the PostgreSQL dynamic libraries), which aren't on ld's search path. Thus, you get this error Note that it probably has very little to do with the meaning of extension_dir, which is where PHP looks for its extensions. If the extensions were linked against other dynamic libraries (which is often the case) - you must ensure that these libraries are on ld's search path (e.g., by adding them to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable) Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/version4/?id=4575
