recode is installed from ports in /usr/local/

contents of /usr/local/lib:
librecode.a
librecode.so
librecode.so.3

contents of /usr/local/include:
recode.h
recodext.h

./configure --with-recode --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.20 --with-gd --enable-track-vars

says:

[...]
checking for recode support... yes
configure: error: I cannot link librecode (-L/usr/local/lib -lrecode). Is it installed?

Check config.log for possible error why the linking 
failed. It's not likely to be recode which fails here.

config.log says:

[...]
configure:44401: checking for recode support
configure:44483: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -DSUPPORT_UTF8  -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lgd -lcrypt -lm  -lrecode 1>&5

configure: failed program was:
#line 44472 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

char *program_name;

int main() {

recode_format_table();

; return 0; }

what does this mean?

What does 'ldd librecode.so' output?
What version of recode is this?
How was it compiled?

ldd librecode.so says:

librecode.so:
ldd: librecode.so: Exec format error
librecode.so: exit status 1

recode is version 3.6 compiled from the FreeBSD ports directory.

Using recode from the command line works properly.

Meanwhile I updated the OS to FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE.

Seems like there is something wrong with the shared lib.
Try removing those librecode.so and librecode.so.2 files
and try to configure PHP again.

Ok, I tried it this way:
I removed the libraries as requested and tried to configure php again -> same error like before

Then I tried to compile recode from source (this time without the ports patches) again, but it failed. Then used the ports directory to recompile recode successfully.
Then I configured php again -> same error.

BTW: the librarues are librecode.so and librecode.so.3, not librecode.so.2.
I also tried to make a symbolic link to the library with the suffix '2', but no success...

There is something wrong with your install of recode 
libraries and this is not support forum for FreeBSD so
ask them for help on this part. PHP's configure can not
do anything if your system is broken.

I have a fix for this. Please look at:

This is a librecode problem, not a PHP problem.

Just letting you know I've got the same problem, with 
Mac OS X (10.2.6), PHP 4.3.2 and Recode 3.6 (3.6-6, 
installed using fink). The error I got in config.log:

ld: Undefined symbols: _error
