dl() issues

Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/DL/libpdf_php.so' - File not found in /home/xxxxxxx/page.php on line 6 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_new() in /home/xxxxxxx/page.php on line 11 [xxxxxxx@xxxxx php-4.1.0]$ ls -Al /usr/local/lib/php/DL/libpdf_php.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxxxxxx users 65 Mar 11 18:00 /usr/local/lib/php/DL/libpdf_php.so -> /home/xxxxxxx/pdflib-4.0.2-Linux/bind/php/php-4.1.0/libpdf_php.so* Summary - Put a symlink to libpdf in the extensions_dir (symlink isn't the issue- I tried just putting the libpdf_php.so there too). The file exists. As soon as I use dl("libpdf_php.so"), I get an error that says it couldn't find '/usr/local/lib/php/DL/libpdf_php.so', which IS THERE!!! If you're not willing to help me, do it for the server- it's going to get blown up soon if this keeps up! ;) BTW PHP/4.1.2, Linux -- "The search for truth is more precious than its possession." -Albert Einstien
