You can simply modify your apachectl startup script to include the above mentioned 
technique. Alternatively, you can symlink the mysql and imap libraries into 
/usr/lib, which is the default path.

But what bugs me about the error message your getting is that the terminology is 
all wrong.  The messages should complain about not finding libc-lient.so (which is 
specifically the UW-IMAP client, and so your library would not likely have the 
exact same name) and libmysqlclient.so, or something similar, but certainly not 
./imap.so and ./mysql.so.

Would you be willing to share the options you included in the configure script for 
both apache and PHP?  I'm not at all familiar with imap-2000a, but if you could 
include the mysql build configuration, that might also be helpful.  Also, did you 
infact build the imap library and mysql both as dynamic libraries?  Something isn't 
quite right, and the ld.so.1 errors don't sound to me to be just a path problem.

I'd certainly try the path solution first because it's easy and it will either 
resolve the problem (which I doubt) or make it quite that you've got a problem in 
the build somewhere.
