 Hi,

I am using PHP on the command line. PHP version is 5.2.0-8+etch11
(cli) from Debian Sarge.

Apparently there is no informix extension in the package, so I got the
PHP 5.2.0 source and built it with --disable-all --with-
informix=3Dshared.

When I try to load the extension I get:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library)
'informix.so' in Unknown on line 0

What was my mistake?

Regards,
Andr=E9

PS: There's no need to answer "using Debian". ;)

I don't use Infomix, but do you have the Infomix client installed, and
are the libraries available to your user?

checking the output of `strace php` might shed more light on missing
files

Don't try to load shared libraries as PHP extensions.

I don't understand. I thought, PHP extensions were shared libraries?
