Re: Configuration issues w/PHP4, MySQL, Apache on RH7.1

Ok, it seems that either your /usr/lib/mysql or your /var/lib/mysql has the libraries in them. cd to both of them and find out which has libmysqlclient.so.10 and other similarly named libraries... I am 99% sure it will be the /usr/lib/mysql. Edit your /etc/ld.so.conf file, and add this line: /usr/lib/mysql Or whatever the directory the files were in. (like I said, /usr/lib/mysql seems the logical place) Do a "make clean" on php. Run ldconfig (optionally, you can add a -v for verbose mode) Go back to php, and "./configure --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql --with-apxs=/path/to/apache/bin/apxs" make, make install and you should be good. As it was apparent earlier, I am not sure how the RedHat ldcondif works. Optimally, you should just be able to merge the /usr/lib/mysql in with already cached shared libraries (hence the -m), but you may have to reload all the paths. As long as you have the path correct in the PHP configure script, just mess around with ldconfig and get that path linked... Leave it to RedHat to butcher ldconfig :) If you can't get it right after messing with ldconfig, remove the RPM and install from source (It's much easier and hassle free in the long run, IMHO) Best of luck, Derek "McAtee, Gabriel" wrote: > Actually, I'm not sure what my base director is...
