installing php4 in apache

Hi all, I've been installing php4 in apache as a DSO after apache was already installed and it "mostly" worked, but now the module won't load because of some unresolved symbol "php_sig_gif". What I don't understand is how could the module load normally and functioned right until it decided not to load any more because of that symbol. I haven't changed anything in the install of apache/modperl that would make this happen. I tried to compile php along with apache, still as a DSO but letting apache do the install of it after the php module part was installed in the apache tree. Thinking this would maybe help resolve this symbol trouble, but I get something else, and I'm sure I'm not the only one having this come up. I posted msgs about this before and didn't get a real fix, and that's what lead me to install it separately from apache. Here's what I get: ld -shared -expect_unresolved "*" -s -o libphp4.so mod_php4.so-o libmodphp4.a -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/opt/java118 /lib/alpha/native_threads -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mm/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/opt/java118/li b/alpha/native_threads -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/mm/lib -Lmodules/php4 -L../modules/php4 -L../../modules/php4 -lmodp hp4 -lmm -lmysqlclient -lgdbm -lresolv -lbind -lm -lresolv -lm -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/perl5/lib/5.00501/alpha-dec_osf/CORE -L /usr/local/lib /usr/local/perl5/lib/5.00501/alpha-dec_osf/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/local/perl5/lib/5.00501/alpha-dec_osf/ CORE -lperl -lgdbm -ldbm -ldb -lm ld: Invalid flag usage: Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib, -Wx,-option must appear after -_SYSTYPE_SVR4 ld: Usage: ld [options] file [...] I had too much trouble with perl 5.6 that wouldn't work with modperl, so I rolled back to perl 5.005 and modperl does work now. I had this same error (above) when perl 5.6 was being used, so I don't think any perl compile time settings would cause this, if so, what is it??? Does anyone have a fix for this? -- Didier Godefroy mailto:dg@ulysium.net
