Yep, I upgraded our intranet server to RH9 last night and Apache/PHP now just hangs whenever it tries to connect to Informix (gak!). This is only a client, server is else and using the same binaries as it did before the upgrade. It just stalls at - fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=83535, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40017000 read(3, "#*******************************"..., 4096) = 4096 read(3, ", it will return the\\n# code-s"..., 4096) = 4096 futex(0x8355650, FUTEX_WAIT, -39, NULL If you try to rebuild PHP it dies at - /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifgls.so: undefined reference to `__ctype_b' /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifgls.so: undefined reference to `__ctype_toupper' /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifgls.so: undefined reference to `__ctype_tolower' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sapi/cgi/php] Error 1 So I have to reinstall RH8 just to be able to connect to the database.... grrrr.....
