Problem running apache with PHP 4.0.6

Anon

Hi All.

I have following problem
After succesfull compiling and installing php 4.0.6 when I try to run apache I get following erro message:

Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: uncompress!
Do anybody knows what is it about, and what am I missing? I did not have suce a problem with php 4-0-4pl1

Have you checked to make sure libphp4.so is in /usr/local/apache/libexec/ ?
This sounds like it may be the problem.

Hi..

I have checked it - I do not make it first time 8;-))

All is working now - it is needed to use --with-zlib flag and everythign is OK

Strange is that it is not needed to use this flag it in php-4*pl1 (I have had 4.0.4pl1 compiled without this flag!! and everything was OK) - but it is needed to use it in 4.0.6.

Regards to all....

Just had the same problem (or at least similiar problem) when I installed Apache 2 and PHP 4.0.7 (-dev). Did you configure PHP with support for MySQL (of course you did?) - then it might be the problem.

"uncompress" has something to do with zlib, which the MySQL client use and isn't compiled into PHP. You can check if libz.so is linked from libphp4.so using

$ ldd libphp4.so

First line should be

libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40144000)

...if everything is ok. If not, read this for a solution and explanation. Maybe.

Taht was a right help - thanx a lot.

In meantime I have figured that when I compile it with --with-zlib it is running.
I was sure that it was about libz.so - but the problem was that I do have it in my system.
But now much more things are more clear...

Thanx once again
