I was under the (possibly wrong) understanding that .a libraries are static, not dynamically loadable. The way I usually get apache/php as a DSO is to compile apache first, with --enable-modules=max --enable-shared=max blah blah whatever else you need (but not -activate-module) Then copmile php with whatever config options you need _and_ --with-apxs=/full/path/to/apxs --with-apache-conf=/dir/where/your/apacheconf/files Last config item might be slightly different - can't remember exactly :-) Try ./configure --help |grep apache for the correct syntax. Then when you do make install for php it will install libphp4.so in the correct place and also amend your httpd.conf to activate php as DSO. The nyou just (re)start apache and off you go.
