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
