I'm having this problem both with 3.0.7 and the latest CVS (that why I downloaded it..)

When I compile PHP with --with-mysql and then compile apache 1.3.6 with --enable-shared=php3 I get the following error:

===> src/modules/php3
gcc -c  -I../../os/unix -I../../include   -DLINUX=2 -DUSE_HSREGEX `../../apaci` -fpic -DSHARED_MODULE  mod_php3.c && mv mod_php3.o mod_php3.so-o

I found a similar bug in the bug track system that reported the same error with 3.0.6 I think, and the response was it was fixed in 3.0.7. I encountered the same error when I tried to compile mod_perl as a module along with php. I am not compiling mod_perl at all now. PHP works fine when I don't compile it as a module, but I'd like to have this functionality.

php config:

./configure \
        --with-mysql=/usr \
        --with-shared-apache=../apache_1.3.6 \
        --enable-track-vars \
        --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf \
        --with-imap=/usr/local

apache config:

./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd \
        --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
        --mandir=/usr/man \
        --bindir=/usr/bin \
        --libexecdir=/usr/lib/apache \
        --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf \
        --datadir=/home/httpd \
        --includedir=/usr/include/apache \
        --logfiledir=/var/log/httpd \
        --localstatedir=/var \
        --runtimedir=/var/run \
        --proxycachedir=/var/cache/httpd \
        --enable-module=all \
        --enable-shared=max \
        --disable-rule=WANTHSREGEX \
        --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a \
        --enable-shared=php3

make --version
GNU Make version 3.76.1

gcc --version
2.7.2.3

autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.12

bison --version

flex --version

ld --version
GNU ld 2.9.1

(anything else??)   :)


-----------------------------
more info:

Since I started with the CVS version and ran autoconf I imagine the problem lies in build-defs.h or configure.in (found by going a grep search in the php3 source tree root). It also looks like there is a test in the configure script for the -Wl,-rpath, ld option. Could this test be bad, or do I have a bad version of ld???
--------------------
Acutally, looks like it has to come from the configure.in file, since build-defs.h is created.. I tried to find a newer version of ld but it looks like 2.9.1 is the newest..
--------------------
Ack.. Sorry for the all updates... I now changed the line:

php_cv_cc_rpath=${php_cv_cc_rpath='no'}

the the config.cache file from yes to no. This seemed easier than modifiying the configure.in since I didn't quite understand what was going on in there. I ran the configure script for php3 (and it did read the cache file change), rebuilt php3, did a make install. Reran apache config script, did a make on apache and it compiled fine. Installed the new binaries and the server came up... One weird thing I noticed on the phpinfo screen (from a phpinfo() ) is that the include directories for mysql are listed twice (under _LFLAGS).. Here is the listing: 

       Client API
       version:
                3.22.20a
       Compilation
       definitions:
                MYSQL_INCLUDE=-I/usr/include/mysql
                MYSQL_LFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/mysql
                -L/usr/lib/mysql
                MYSQL_LIBS=-lmysqlclient

-------------------------
Another update...

On a whim, I tried compiling php3 with axps instead of through apache and I got no error and apache loaded fine with the new module. Here is the config script-

./configure \
        --with-mysql=/usr \
        --with-apxs \
        --enable-track-vars \
        --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf \
        --with-imap=/usr/local

-------------

almost forgot, I did remove the config.cache when I built php3 using apxs...
----------------

Well, using the apxs build I discovered that some of my scripts don't work properly... So I'm running with the cache modified version again..
