Description Lee Howard 2001-01-08 07:39:44 UTC

In order to compile-in PDF support into PHP, the RPMs must be built with:
--with-pdflib
option in the configure script after installing pdflib-3.x.  Due to the 
bug mentioned at:
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-php3.php?id=7487
the compile --with-pdflib fails on anything less than php-4.0.4

So, grabbing the php-4.0.4-1 src.rpm from Rawhide, adding --with-pdflib to 
the configure script in the spec file, installing pdflib-3.03 (--enable-
shared-pdflib because the java components fail during make otherwise), and 
then building the RPMs - all goes well.

Because pdflib wasn't installed via RPM, the pdflib.so.0 file dependency 
is complained about, so the RPMs are installed via: 'rpm -Uvh --nodeps'

Then try restarting Apache, and you'll notice the problem:
[root@providence i386]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Shutting down http: [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 256 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: shared object not 
open
[FAILED]
[root@providence i386]#

This occurs when php-4.0.4 is compiled/installed via RPM or directly using 
configure, make, make install.  Uninstalling the new RPMs and then using 
the php-4.0.3pl1-2 RPMs allows Apache to restart properly, but obviously 
there is no PDF support there.

How can this be resolved?

needed to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run /sbin/ldconfig 
because pdflib installs itself by default into /usr/local/lib rather 
than /usr/lib
