 I still fail to run the apache package with php3 and mysql :-(

 The above does not the trick for me. It does not matter what is configured in
/usr/pkg/etc/php3.ini - httpd will seg-fault when started with the option 

LoadModule php3_mysql_module /usr/pkg/lib/php3/mysql.so

 defined in httpd.conf.

 I even did a complete re-install using binary packages for 1.4.2.

 BTW, I don't have "mysql.o" but "mysql.so" - is that important? Where to 
get the "mysql.o" ? "mysql.so" is embedded into php-mysql-package.

 Thanks for any help or pointer!
