sure that you also export these variables to the build process.
(Type 'export LDFLAGS EXTRA_LIBS' in the shell to do this.)
If you are using 3rd party tools and libraries which are installed
in non-standard locations, you may need to set the environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the library's location, prior
to running the Zeus Web Server. For example, if you have compiled
external MySQL support, and mysql is installed in /usr/local/mysql,
you should set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to '/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql'
and then 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH'. For convenience, you should add
this to the 'start-zeus' script provided.
On Linux, you can also tell the dynamic linker where to find the
libraries, by adding '/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' to the file
/etc/ld.so.conf - after editting this file, run 'ldconfig' as root,
to use the changes.

Some people may find they need to run ./configure with the
'--enable-libgcc' compile option too.
Performance issues
==================
To make PHP run fast under Zeus, check the following points:
1) Run PHP as an ISAPI module, not a CGI - compile it with the --with-zeus=...
flag!
2) Tune the ISAPI runner to your required workload. There are several
tuneables that can be given. These are set by adding the appropriate
lines to the $ZEUSHOME/web/global.cfg file. Changes to this file will only
be picked up after the web server is restarted (run stop-zeus ; start-zeus)
tuning!modules!isapi!external!maxthreads xxx
- Sets the maximum number of threads that the ISAPI runner will spawn. If
further PHP page requests arrive, they will be queued until a current
page is finished. For busy websites, we suggest increasing this value
(defaults to 16). Replace the 'xxx' in the above line with the required
number of threads. Note that the threads are equally shared between
ISAPI extensions and filters, so if you want to handle 100 concurrent
PHP page requests, set this tuneable to 200.
tuning!modules!isapi!external!minthreads xxx
- Sets the minimum number of threads. Idle threads will be kept in a pool,
which avoids costly thread creation/deletion.
