Loading libmysqlclient.so.6

[Anon]

I have compiled PHP4 with axps and works fine until I compile it and try to load it with external MySQL support.

I get the following error when I try to start the web server.

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 249 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: libmysqlclient.so.6: cann
ot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What should I do?

TIA

this is due to a bug in mysqlinstallation I think. Try adding the the directory where this file exists to your /etc/ld.so.conf file and run

ldconfig

so your system knows where to find the library.

If apache starts crashing silently (it did with me) you might have mysql installed from rpm, which contains a bug from compiling with glibc --with-posix-threads enabled. A installation of mysql from source by default disables this and should work.

good luck

I have had this problem before. What you have to do is go to /usr/lib/ and re-link the:
libmysqlclient.so.6 => libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0

That's nice.
Just wanted to point out the real problem.
