Greetings, I am new to slackware and linux at all. Today I have installed slackware 13.1 on my PC. Everything seems fine. Furthermore, I successfully installed mysql and edited the http.conf file throughout vim(this was also new to me). I discommented the line where it says "Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf" and moreover changed "DirectoryIndex index.html" to "DirectoryIndex index.php".

Everything good for now. I started mysql successfully, but when I try to execute "/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start" it gives me this error:
"httpd" Syntax error on line 478 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so int server: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I assumed that the library "libltdl.so.7" is missing. When I tried to google it, I cannot find a proper version for slackware.

Thank you in advance for helping me with this issue. I sincerely apologize if I have posted the thread in the wrong section.

I think you are missing some packages: that's in the libtool one.
