I have configured PHP with the following options:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr

/usr/lib/mysql contains libmyclient.a and libmyclient.sa.  
Configuration and make goes fine, though I get the 
following warning:

*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided 
by /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.la.
*** I have the capability to make that library 
automatically link in when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if 
you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear 
to have.

Install goes fine, but when I restart Apache ( 1.3.3 ), I 
get the following error:

Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: /usr/
lib/apache/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: mysql_free_result

PHP 4.0.6 compiled from source and ran with no such 
problems.

I guess you're getting the libtool bug I noticed myself too.
Try deleting the .la file.

I deleted the libmysqlclient.la file from /usr/lib/mysql 
and tried re-compiling, but still got the same error.

How exactly did you configure/compile/install Mysql ?
And what linux distribution is this ?

MySQL was installed from RPM's a while ago:

MySQL-3.22.21-2C1
MySQL-client-3.22.21-2C1
MySQL-devel-3.22.21-2C1

The system is a Cobalt Qube 2:

Linux qube.dessol 2.0.34C51_SK #1 Mon Nov 29 07:59:59 CET 
1999 mips unknown

By the way, I also tried linking with libmcal.a which is 
installed in /usr/local/mcal/lib/.  I used the 
configuration option --with-mcal=/usr/local/mcal and 
configuration/compiling/installing went fine.  However, 
when restarting Apache, I get:

Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: /usr/
lib/apache/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: mcal_close

I don't know what's going on here, but it seems the *.a 
files are not being linked to correctly?  There was no such 
problems with the 4.0.6 release which I compilied with 
MySQL and MCAL support with no problems.

Thanks.

I have sucessfully linked PHP4.1.1 to static libtool 
libraries with the following method:

1. ./configure in the 4.0.6 source directory
2. ./configure in the 4.1.1 source directory
3. copy the libtool from 4.0.6 to the 4.1.1 direcory
4. make
5. make install

Obviously this is a little messy, but it does seem to work 
sucessfully.

Regards,

Glen

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem
might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP
version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

Still not working with 4.2.1.  This is particurlarly 
problematic with MCAL which only compiles as a static 
library.
 [2002-06-07 07:35 UTC] sniper@php.net 
Please give more information what the actual problem is.
Is the problem only with '--with-mcal' ??
 [2002-06-07 12:03 UTC] glen at designsolution dot co dot uk 
As I have mentioned above, PHP does not seem to compile 
correctly with static libtool libraries.  I have static 
MySQL and MCAL libraries, and PHP fails to link to either.  
PHP 4.0.6 worked, but nothing since has.
 [2002-06-07 13:37 UTC] sniper@php.net 
This must be some mips related thing since it works 
fine for me and many others. And hard to fix/debug as
I think none of the developers have access to such system.

Do you get any clear compile _errors_ ?
Does config.log have any clues?

 [2002-06-18 07:53 UTC] glen at designsolution dot co dot uk 
There are no compile errors at all.  Everything goes well until I start Apache.  Then I get errors about missing MySQL or MCAL functions.

PHP 4.0.6 was the last version that worked correctly.

Still guessing here..but it might be another of those
autoconf problems we've seen. Please try this snapshot:
