php-odbc connect failure; file not found but it is there

["georg" <georg.chambert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

struggling further to get my Linux (Fedora17), Apache, PHP5, ODBC, MimerSQL chain working

 

after lots of xxx, Im now where the odbc_connect (from working PHP)  is to open the DB,

 

the ODBC DSN (seem to) points to the right driver pointing to file:  /lib/libmimerodbc.so,

but Apache error_log says

this file does not exist,

but Im stare-ingly convinced that it is.

 

any clues,

tnx

georg
