I have currently setup everything in Gentoo. Note that the
ebuilds are
a bit outdated. In order to install current versions, just
create a
Portage (Gentoo's package management) Overlay.

e.g.:
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/dev-libs/yaz
$ echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"'
>> /etc/make.conf

Then copy the old ebuild and rename it so its name resembles
the
current version and create a digest:

$ cp /usr/portage/dev-libs/yaz/yaz-2.1.8-r1.ebuild
/usr/local/portage/dev-libs/yaz/yaz-2.1.38.ebuild
$ ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-libs/yaz/yaz-2.1.38.ebuild
digest

Do the same for the pecl-yaz ebuild (I think 1.0.7 is the
current
version). Renaming is sufficient. Maybe I should invest some
time and
request a version bump in Gentoo's Bugzilla.

To _what_ php.ini: Gentoo creates one for each SAPI, i.e.
apache(2),
cli, cgi... Check the phpinfo() output, it mentiones the
right php.ini.

You can also load the extension at request (I prefer that,
since most
of my pages do not use yaz anyway) by using PHP's dl()
function. I.e.
insert something like this in your code:

<?php
if(!extension_loaded('yaz') && !dl('yaz.so'))
trigger_error('Arrrr. Cannot load yaz.so. Arrrr.');
?>


-hwh

BTW: I can provide an ebuild for Zebra, if anyone's
interested.

Open your php.ini  located into
/etc/php/apache2-php5/php.ini or
similar path.  Add the extension entry extension=msql.so
