After compiling, ldd .libs/libphp4.so says that it cannot find these libs.

The ucblib stuff is for SunOS4 compatibility, and I certainly don't want this for new apps. > In both cases, please send in patches, so that you don't have > to pass additional parameters. I would gladly do that, but I cannot figure out where to start. While being quite proficient with autoconf/automake, I don't know much about libtool, which I presume to be at fault here. Btw, I have received a number of request by other to fwd replies, because they have the same problem(s).
