Thanks for your help I've actually just managed to get
the pdflib as a Dynamically loaded module working.

I was going mad for three days trying absolutely
everything; couldn't really find any solution on
google. The thing is when I compiled the new version
the GD library stop working!! - which enoyed me
futher; and the thing was - some modules did work
(e.g. the mysql module) and didn't. Confusing!!

PHP wasn't giving me any errors so I tried loading the
modules at the script level using the php dl()
function (opposed to extension=module.so in the
/etc/php.ini file).

i.e.  dl("gd.so"); dl("pdflib_php.so");

and it FINALLY gave me some usefull errors. Basically
the modules were nott been given permmission to shared
memory locations.

To cut long story short I disabled SElinux and it
worked fine!!!

Obviously I need learn more about SElinux, and set a
rule or something. So does any one know what I'd need
to do so I can use SElinux with my modules (or is
there really any advantage in using it??)

Cheers

Jody
