shared object not open

Hi, I am just starting with PHP, I installed the new version on my Suse 7.1 with apache 1.3.14, because I need a tool for accessing databases (Informix/Oracle). Everything seemed fine, until I tried to start apache, it told me: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: shared object not open All my investigations showed me a very "kind" member of bug.php.net, who told someone else, that this isn't a bug and we should connect the mailing-lists. He generously had a hint : /etc/ld.so.conf and ldconfig. In the archive of the mailing lists I found the same informations ( a little bit more informative), but my ld.so.conf is o.k. and at this point any help stops. I hope, that someone found out what's happening here and helps me. So I have: Intel Celreon 366 on Asus Mainboard, 256 MB RAM, Adaptec 2940UW with all together 20GB HD, 5 swap-Areas with 128MB each. SuSE 7.1 Prof-Edition, from this distribution I installed apache and PHP (everything working fine, but no idea how to activate informix/oracle-support) Apache says, PHP4-module installed. Thanks a lot for any help Martin Schmidt
