diff on binary files? ouch... md5sum might make more sense in the future :)

The error message you're reporting sounds like there's a file out of 
sync with the rest of the system somewhere. Can you issue an "rpm -qf 
/usr/lib/php/modules/odbc.so" and an "rpm -qf /usr/lib/php4/odbc.so"?

Unless there's some symlinkage going on, it seems a bit strange that 
there's two copies of the same file in different locations.

Jon
