php gnupg = unable to load warning

Question

End goal: use PHP GnuPG library in my Mediawiki extension

I have installed

• gpgme with dependencies
• run pecl install gnupg = no errors
• added extension=gnupg.so to my php.ini

:

[root@dev-lamp01]# locate gnupg.so /usr/lib64/php/modules/gnupg.so [root@dev-lamp01]# file /usr/lib64/php/modules/gnupg.so /usr/lib64/php/modules/gnupg.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped [root@dev-lamp01]# locate libgpgme.so.11 /usr/local/lib/libgpgme.so.11 /usr/local/lib/libgpgme.so.11.8.1 [root@dev-lamp01]# file /usr/local/lib/libgpgme.so.11 /usr/local/lib/libgpgme.so.11: symbolic link to `libgpgme.so.11.8.1' [root@dev-lamp01]# file /usr/local/lib/libgpgme.so.11.8.1 /usr/local/lib/libgpgme.so.11.8.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped 

yet:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/gnupg.so' - libgpgme.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

what am i missing? thanks

Solution that fixed the problem in my case:

$ php -r 'var_dump(function_exists("gnupg_decrypt"));'; PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20100525/gnupg.so' - **libgpgme.so.11: cannot open shared object file**: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 bool(false) $ ldd /usr/lib/php5/20100525/gnupg.so linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff715ff000) **libgpgme.so.11 => not found** libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f087c815000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f087cdea000) 

It seems that the server doesn’t load libraries from the /usr/local/lib folder. To fix this problem just add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf or/and run ldconfig.
