Apache Error when installing PHP

Anon

Well...I installed Slackware 7.1 in my laptop and no problem with apache,php and mysql...
But now I installed the same slackware in other pc...
i installed Mysql, apache and apache works fine,...then i install php without errors but when I run httpd i get this error...

Syntax error on line 205 of httpd.conf:
Cannot load pathto/libphp4.so into server: pathto/libphp4.so:undefined symbol: uncompress

what is this error? why in the laptop all was fine doing the same???

before doing 'make' edit the toplevel Makefile.

make sure that the line beginning with 'LTLIBRARY_LDFLAGS = [...]' has '-lz' in it

Anon

thanks in advance!

Anon

HI!!!THANKSSSSS!!!
Say Mun, in this line I have

when compiling/installing php you begin with ./configure. After that you do make and make install. Before doing make, edit the file 'Makefile' in the dir 'php-4.0.6' (in my case version 4.0.6). Find a line that begins with 'LTLIBRARY_LDFLAGS = ', in my case it is

LTLIBRARY_LDFLAGS = -rpath $(phptempdir) $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(PHP_RPATHS)

i changed it to

LTLIBRARY_LDFLAGS = -lz -rpath $(phptempdir) $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(PHP_RPATHS)

Now save the file and run make and make install.

That should do it.

Hi Pete,
What kind of a hack is that? What changes by adding -lz ?
Thanks,
