PHP 4.0 Bug #10222 Updated: php linking against wrong mysqlclient lib and causing crash on startup

ID: 10222 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: vk@mac.dhs.org Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Assigned To: Comments: A -L/your/path is added, but yes, then -lmysqlclient comesafter that and if a mysqlclient library appears on your default link path it will be used. That's just the way it works and the way just about anything you compile on a UNIX system will work. Don't put libraries in your default path if you don't want them used. I don't see this being "fixed" Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-07 09:51:47] vk@mac.dhs.org i have several mysql daemons (different versions) running on my system. the problem is that php is always compiled with -lmysqlclient and thus links against the default library (in my case /usr/lib/libmysqlclient*) even if you specify a different path to mysql during ./configure This was causing crash (segfault) on startup with all versions of apache after 1.3.14 and all versions of php 4+ I just figured out that this library missmatch was causing this problem, the crash has already been explained in bug #7976 once upon a time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
