Something like that happened to me as well, a white page without any
information is not convenient.

Still we should set up a better script checking for dependencies at a
later point like Masi suggested.

I did some minor performance tests with this patch: I didn't see a big
loss, my values where within usual testing variance.

Attached patch uses a simple die(), this is used in this class at some
other places, and imho t3lib_BEfunc::typo3PrintError is a bit of a
misuse at this point.

+1 on reading and testing.

Christian


BTW:
How to test without killing your system too long on debian:

mv /etc/php5/conf.d/mysql.ini /etc/php5/; apache2ctl restart; sleep 1;
wget http://mydomain/; mv /etc/php5/mysql.ini /etc/php5/conf.d/;
apache2ctl restart; cat index.html
