[plug] PHP compilation

[Simon Scott]

	Isnt the difference just in compiler flags? Check the makefile and
ensure that the correct compiler flags are there.

	Library files with names such as libsomething.a (static libraries)
are only
	useful for compile-time linking, whereas libsomething.so (shared
libraries)
	are intended for run-time linking.

	If you were expecting to have a .so file generated, I suspect you
made a
	mistake in your php4 configuration - try going back to the php4
source tree
	you built for and run ./configure --help  ... have a look at the
output.

	If you can see an option looking something like --enable-shared, do
a "make
	clean" and reconfigure like so:

	# ./configure --enable-shared  [ and all your other configuration
options ]

	and then rebuild (ie. do another   make ; make install ).

	NB. This is the guesswork of someone who doesn't know php at all,
working
	on general principles. I may be barking up the wrong tree. Be
warned. :)
