Rasmus, Steve, Thanks very much for taking the time, the ldconfig suggestion took care of the problem handily. PHP's running as a DSO and this may be the happiest moment of my life. Okay. I ran into a similar problem with the Sablot processor. Expat is installed properly, and the PHP config seems to find it just fine. The Sablot libraries are installed in /usr/local/lib. When I run configure with eh '--with-sablot=/usr/local/lib' directive, things go a little awry. Just a little. Configure completes it's work but says there's something screwy. The debug.log (output below) complains about undefined refs to some XML function calls, like XML_ParserCreateNS. Anyway, when I've tried to compile in the past, the same exact problem came up as before with mysqlclient, the PHP module claims that it can't find the libsablot libraries. So, my question: are these problems related? If I include the path to the sablotron libraries in my ld.so.conf, will that fix the problem as with mysqlclient? It didn't fix it with the configure command so far. Has anyone else encountered this? I'll go and forge ahead, but if there's any advice out there, that'd be great. Thanks again for your previous help.
