ext/java or SO problem on MacOS X

I am trying to install support for ext/java (PHP 4.0.5 on MacOS X 10.0.3 with the pre-installed Apache), and after a little bit of hacking on the ./configure file I have gotten it to successfully compile (once I am sure that this can work I will give back my *trivial* changes). But when test it with the standard jver.php file, I only get the message: Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: java in /Library/WebServer/Documents/jver.php on line 5 I take/took this to mean that the shared object is not loading, so PHP thinks I am just failing to define a class. Here is the other kicker: when I look at phpinfo I get a message (the rest of the info looks fine): Dynamic Library support not available I checked on another box I run (same OS/Apache/PHP versions.. different compile options), and it also reports the same thing. So here is my real question: Is there some way to allow the ext/java object to load (am I guessing right here?)? or is there a way to force the ext/java to be compiled into the PHP Apache Shared Object? Or is there another, better way of getting a hold of the single Java object I need to use? Karl Kuehn larkost@softhome.net
