I have the following configuration options for dynamic php:

sh ./configure --prefix=/usr \
        --without-gd \
        --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
        --enable-versioning \
        --with-config-file-path=/usr/lib \
        --enable-debugger=yes \
        --enable-safe-mode \
        --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin \
        --with-mysql \
        --with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5 \
        --with-pdflib=/usr \
        --with-system-regex \
        --enable-track-vars \
        --with-ttf \
        --with-zlib \
        --with-wddx


This configures and compiles fine.


I configured the httpd.conf files with the appropriate module paths...

LoadModule php4_module        modules/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

Since I'm running oracle 8.1.5.01(with patches) for linux, I even made sure
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH was available for apache

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then I start apache...
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

However, this is the error I get every time.

[root@redora init.d]# ./httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 874 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/libphp
4.so: undefined symbol: php_regcomp

I believe this problem involves how php4's routine interfaces with the oracle sqlplus calls
although I'm not too sure exactly where it breaks.
