Usually this means that the config.m4 file (in ext/informix) should contain the following at some point : EXTRA_LIBS += -lyourlibrary After modifying config.m4 you need to run "./buildconf" at the root of the PHP directory. This gathers configuration information from all extensions present and injects it into the main configure script; you then run "configure --with-informix" (or whatever your favorite config command is) then make/make install once more. Make install should patch the Makefile in the Apache tree appropriately. Autoconf and automake are great tools which simplify distributing source packages a lot, but sometimes the complexity they hide comes back to haunt you... ======================================== Laurent Bossavit - Ing‚nieur R&D >>> laurent@mmania.com <<< >> ICQ#39281367 << MultiMania http://www.multimania.fr/ ========================================
