Does this happen with PHP 4.0.6RC3:

Yes, I still get the same error with php 4.0.6RC3

Exactly what line does this happen on??
That 33.16 doesn't seem to tell anything?? (I'm not familiar
with IBM's ideas of error messages..)

--Jani

33.16 is interpreted as line 33, column 16.

I am not sure if it is the 16th character in the line, or the 16th position from the absolute beginning. Anyway, line 33 is a start....

Sounds like broken dlopen()..
Could this be of any help:

ie. Do you have that libdl.a somewhere in your system?

Sorry, this wasn't it....

# find /usr -name libdl.a  -print
/usr/lib/libdl.a
/usr/ccs/lib/libdl.a
/usr/ccs/lib/inst_updt/libdl.a

it seems like a type mismatch problem, but gcc doesn't seem to care. The real problem is I cannot successfully build apache with gcc (it wants xlc) and I can't mix gcc compiled php modules with xlc compiled apache.

Could you please try making like this:

# CFLAGS=-G make 

--Jani

It gives a different error message:

xlc: 1501-228 input file make not found
make: The error code from the last command is 252.


The message: 

  xlc: 1501-228 input file make not found

is likely the text 'make' appearing after the -G above. The xlc -G option is:

  -G        Tells the linkage editor to create a dynamic                 library.

I tried leaving off the make (CFLAGS=-G) but then received errors about entry points not found.

Could you please try with latest CVS snapshot from
http://snaps.php.net/

as the HEAD branch used libtool 1.4 which might have
got this fixed..
