    apache 1.3.27, frontpage, php 4.3.0, and mhash

    Hello,
    I'm really hoping someone can help here, i am very frustrated on this
    issue. If this were my linux box i'd commit myself for insanity, this setup
    is so frustrating!
    Ok, done rambling, Linux box, rh version unknown, apache 1.3.27 with
    frontpage extensions, php 4.3.0, and i'm trying to install mhash. I was
    informed this is occurring in a vdp environment whatever that is, and so i
    compiled and installed mhash thinking apache and php would work with it. No
    go, after spending an hour figuring out where this provider places his
    apache modules i copied /usr/local/lib/libmhash* to
    /usr/local/apache/libexec/modules which worked fine, btw a line:
    extension=libmh ash.so
    has already been added to php.ini
    i restarted apache and got the message:
    "Unknown library maybe not a php library libmhash.so"
    My problem is i believe that /usr/local/apache/libexec/modules
    is/libmhash.so is looking for an include file mhash.h which should reside in
    /usr/local/apache/include where said module can find it, instead it lives in
    the standard location of /usr/local/lib/mhash.h and i don't have the
    credentials to get it there. My question is is there anyway to compile a
    static version of mhash so i could just copy a single .so file in to
    /usr/local/apache/libexec/modules and it would work? Failing or augmenting
    that any suggestions welcome.
    BTW, please don't say contact the provider i've done it 5 times over
    this past week and have got no response, and the guy whom i'm consulting for
    won't switch.
    Much thanks.
    Dave.
