Dear Users,
I wasted a lot of time on this - [stupid]

PHP ./config has not finished when you see the THANK YOU for USING PHP boxes after configure.

I wrote a script to rebuild it [php4] which was stopping during the --with-* list and not getting to the make make install.
in seeing the thank you boxes I assumed that that was the end.... [stupid].

If you can't find libphp4.so anywhere it means you have not finished the make make install. There are a few pages around google about libtool bugs etc which are erroneous.

This will affect about 0.6% of users but it is still handy to have a pointer here.

Happy Linoding

also for people installing GD and getting those annoying jpeg / png error messages - you need to install both the libs and the *-devel libs
that will save you half an hour....

Another thing that got me when I was compiling PHP with mcrypt on my Mandrake box was that I couldn't find libltdl3.so.3 anywhere. From a Google it seemed as if it was something to do with libtool, but I had the libtool and libtool-devel RPMs already installed.

Turns out it's in the libltdl3 package - stupid me. :D I spent some time trying to work that out...
