SUSE LINUX ENTERPRISE VERSION 9(the commercial version of the suse operating
system, ie not suse linux professional or suse linux personal)

2 AMD OPTERONS(the 64 bit processors)

So I have tried php-4.3.10 and php-4.3.4(<-- the last version I got to work)
with FirebirdCS-1.5.2.4731-0.(as well as FirebirdCS-1.0.3.972-0.64IO)

I run the command from the php directory:
./configure --with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird

Here is the output:
--start output
checking for InterBase support... yes, shared
checking for isc_detach_database in -lgds... no
checking for isc_detach_database in -lib_util... no
configure: error: libgds or libib_util not found! Check config.log for more
information.
--end output

I have the libraries libgds.so in /lib/libgds.so and /usr/lib/libgds.so
and libib_util.so in /lib/libib_util.so and /usr/lib/libib_util.so

In the config.log there are these lines....

configure:42587: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wl,-rpath,/opt/firebird/lib
-L/opt/firebird/lib conftest.c -lgds -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl 1>&5
/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin
/ld:
skipping incompatible /lib/libgds.so when searching for -lgds
/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin
/ld:

/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin
/ld:
cannot find -lgds


So...as it seems it is finding the libraries but doesn't like them I don't
know what to do from here?(Do I need special libraries for the opteron?)

Thanks in advance.

[Alan McDonald] I don't know for sure but it does smell like a 64 bit
problem to me. what about I send you a 32 bit .so file and you can try it?
