Unable to load dynamic library

[mrJazz]

Hi All,

Everything was working fine, then I upgraded MySQL with an RPM and now I keep getting the following message when trying to use the php mysql functions:...

PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/mysql.so' - libmysqlclient.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in db.inc.php on line 2

Any ideas?

Hi,

by upgrading mysql the mysql client library changed. I think the filename has changed to something different. It would be a good idea to recompile php. You might try to copy the new libmysqlclient.so.??? to libmysqlclient.so.9 but that could be a bad idea since it possibly won't work ... just recompile php. If you installed php as a rpm package you might want to install the source package php-???.src.rpm and to rebuild it by executing e.g. rpm -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/php.spec (might be php4.spec)
That will ensure that the php module fits perfectly into your system.

Regards,
Thomas
