libphp4.so can't find libmysqlclient.so

Hi everyone! I promise I tried to find this problem in the list archives/FAQ - no luck! Everything (apache/mysql/php) compiles nicely, with no complaints at all, but, when Apache tries to load libphp4.so, it complains that it can't find libmysqlclient.so.10 Before you tell me to load the dev RPM(s), etc, please take a quick look at the configuration! * RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.13 (intel smp, compiled from source) * php 4.0.7, src in /opt/src/php-4.0.6 * Apache 1.3.22, src in /opt/src/apache_1.3.22, binary in /opt/bin/apache * MySql 3.23.43, src in /opt/src/mysql-3.23.43, binary in /opt/bin/mysql the /opt/bin/* dirs are NOT symlinks, and everything is compiled from source in /opt/src/* * php compile options: ./configure --with-mysql=/opt/bin/mysql --with-apxs=/opt/bin/apache/bin/apxs * error: shell> pwd /opt/bin/apache/bin shell> ./apachectl configtest Syntax error on line 236 of /opt/bin/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /opt/bin/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: libmysqlclient.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory * line 236 of httpd.conf LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so * confirmed: Apache runs without libphp MySql runs, and local clients can connect (/opt/bin/mysql/bin/mysql -p for example) php loads and runs IF ./configure --without-mysql --with-apxs=/opt/bin/apache/bin/apxs * tried: copying mysql/lib to /usr/local/mysql/lib copying mysql/lib/libphp4.so to /opt/bin/apache/libexec * don't want to: install RedHat default mysql install RedHat default php install RedHat default mysql Thanks everyone! I sure hope this isn't an impossible configuration, it's how I like to setup all my systems, and this is the first one where the client is demanding php! Now what good is php without mysql to back it up!? Thanks and Best Regards, Lorenzo Gonzalez
