The versioning options allows you to export only a special symbol (the Apache module table), so that you don't get problems with the dynamic linker (libtool does this much nicer, btw). The following way should always work (until we switch to libtool): Add a new line at the beginning of sapi/apache/mod_php4.c: #define php4_module php4XXX_module Then echo php4XXX_module > php.map Recompile with --enable-versioning. In conf/httpd.conf you should write LoadModule php4XXX_module libexec/libphp4.so (don't forget to rename the file (libphp4.so) appropiately, otherwise make install will always overwrite the latest version). -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
