The error I'm getting when running smoketest.php is this:

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/local/apache2/lib/xapian.so' - libxapian.so.13: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory in
/home/username_removed/public_html/xapian/php5/xapian.php on line 23

if I run this same file on the command line it outputs nothing.

If I am understanding the docs correctly, by adding
extension=xapian.so to the php.ini file this should load xapian in
every php page so I shouldn't have to use dl() to load it, is this
correct?

That was one of the first things I tried, xapian is not loaded,
enable_dl is on. I have even made a php script that checks the
permissions on xapian.so and php is able to read and execute this
file.

I've looked in the error_log and there is the same error that I get on
the screen
