PHP5 dynamic module apache 1.3.x undefined symbol issues

I am having trouble getting the dynamic module of PHP5 to work with apache 1.3.33. I first compile apache with the following options: SSL_BASE=/opt/app/garp/new/openssl ./configure --enable-module=ssl \ --prefix=/opt/app/garp/new/apache --server-uid=garp \ --server-gid=garp --enable-module=so --enable-module=rewrite And then php with these options: ./configure \ --with-mysqli=/opt/app/garp/app_tars/mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686/bin/mysql_config \ --with-mysql=/opt/app/garp/app_tars/mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686\ --with-apxs=/opt/app/garp/new/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-openssl-dir=/opt/app/garp/new/openssl \ --with-oracle \ --with-oci8 \ --enable-sigchild \ --prefix=/opt/app/garp/new/php \ --with-mime-magic \ --with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos \ --with-imap=/opt/app/garp/app_tars/imap-2004d \ --with-imap-ssl=/opt/app/garp/new/openssl \ --with-xsl \ --with-zip=modules \ --with-zlib=/opt/app/garp/zlib \ --with-zlib-dir=/opt/app/garp/zlib \ --with-zziplib=/opt/app/garp/zziplib \ --without-pic PHP runs great from the command line - I wrote some test scripts that log into various databases (mysql/oracle) and have no trouble. However, when I try to start apache, I get the following error: Syntax error on line 205 of /opt/app/garp/new/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /opt/app/garp/new/apache/libexec/libphp5.so into server: /opt/app/garp/new/apache/libexec/libphp5.so: undefined symbol: mysql_stmt_close ./bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started When I run ldd on libphp5.so, I see that it is linked against an old version of libmysql. Here is the relevant line output by ldd: libmysqlclient.so.12 => /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.12 (0x00a6b000) I need to have an old version of mysql running on the same machine, that's why I installed the new version into a custom directory. How can I get libphp5.so to link/include the correct library? Or am I doing something else wrong? Thanks, Seth
