problem with mysql extension.
 

Hi all,

i've emerged apache2 and configured it, and emerged php. those 2 work just fine (checked with <?php phpinfo() ?>).

and now i want to install phpmyadmin.
so i emerged that.

but when i do http://theserverip/phpmyadmin
i get this error.

cannot load mysql extension;
please check PHP configuration
Documentation

i know what this means cause i've installed mysql on windows once.
so first i had to find the mysql.so file (i'm not that good in linux so i didn't know how the "find" command really worked)

but i've been strugeling with that mysql extension for days now...
i've uncommented extension=mysql.so in the php.ini file
and checked the extension_dir was correct.

but when i type php -m in the command line i get this error.

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php/extensions/mysql.so: undefined symbol: PL_perl_destruct_level in Unknown on line 0

i hope someone knows how to help me cause i'm out of idea's.

thnx anyways!

Did you emerge php with the mysql use flag?

Also, are you using mod_php?

I have no experience with Gentoo and Emerge but it is possible that your php is not compiled with mysql support. If you are using php 5 & running mysql 4.1.x then you need --enable-mysqli compile switch.

I've compiled php with mysqli on slackware and it worked out perfect...again I have no idea about Gentoo so I may be completely off the track here.

Tux,
