I have been working with a fedora core 4 test1 box and trying to build PHP5 with mysqli support.
I have installed the source rpm and edited the SPEC file for it. In the configure section I added the needed lines to compile PHP with the mysqli support, but when I install the resulting RPMs they don't contain any of the mysqli files (mainly mysqli.so)
What else do I need to do so that I can get this support into the RPM?
Have you tried taking that PHP version, source and all, and tried compiling it from command-line to look for suspect errors? That's what I'd start with, specificaly around ./configure -xx time.
Work on this at a more simple stage, until waiting for after the RPM is built to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks -dant
