Re: Compiling PHP with SWF support under FreeBSD

I'm certainly no expert, but this reminds me of when I had to compile in freetsd support the other day. The reason why I needed that is a whole other story. =) Anyhow, after running ./configure and make and make install on the source for the libraries i had to do this: 1) put the path where the libraries where installed in /etc/ld.so.conf 2) run ldconfig I have NO Idea if this is relevant to your problem, and this was on a linux box, so I don't even know if ldconfig exists on your platform. but, it sounds right. according to the man page for ldconfig it: " creates the necessary links and cache (for use by the run-time linker, ld.so) to the most recent shared libraries found in the directories specified on the command line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, " anyhow, thought I'd throw my two bobs worth in Good luck!
