Note Submitter: Ann Cantelow, cantelow at csd dot net ---- On Tru64 5.1A, we had what looked like the mysql pthread problem, with php 5 shared lib compiling fine but crashing upon firing up apache. But, our problem turned out to be this: we were running 2 versions of mysql and attempting to use --with-mysql=/usr/local/newmysql5 to link to our running test mysql5 distribution. php was still linking against an old /usr/local/lib/mysql mysqlclient library, however (or setting up to use old /usr/local/lib/mysql shared mysqlclient.so, not sure which). When we made sure that only /usr/local/newmysql5/lib/mysql/ mysqlclient library (which was a static one in our case) was available to our compiling user, our problem with php crashing on apache start went away. (We used tru64's handy setacl command to accomplish this.) We still have the mysql5 pthread-included compile.
