Lurkers (was new subscriber introductions)

Ok I'll stop lurking and introduce myself too. Name: Mark Elliss I work from home in a small village called Onehouse in Suffolk. I am an Objective-c programmer by choice and an electronics engineer by trade. I use Linux to develop programs which I then have to port to Windoze, Solaris, IBM AIX and HP-UX. The company I work for is based in London so it's great to work online. Family permitting I hope to attend some of the meets soon. Regards Mark

Wait till your trying to install GD support, dependency knightmare! But back to the topic, I found you needed to recompile Apache before PHP then compile PHP then I think you had to some other weird and wonderful compilations to get it to all work. Eventually I gave up and used C :o) It was exactly this problem which I had.

Thanks for the reply. I built it - - with - pgsql - - with - apxs as per the documentation, but i got the errors: "sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons: 1. Perl is not installed; 2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (- - enable-modules=so); 3. "apxs" is not in your path" So I ran it using just the - - with - pgsql option, which worked fine, apart from the lack of necessary modules, at which point I mailed the list. A trawl through the net for similar problems just led me to retry using ./configure - - with - pgsql - - with - apache but again i get the error (in Configuring SAPI modules..) "Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h under /usr/local/apache" I haven't got httpd.h (or apache.h), so no point in trying it with full path to apache/httpd.h. Jen.

I think you mentioned you're using >Debian; do you have the apache-dev package installed? I do now! - - with - apxs is fine now, many thanks. However make install stops at "make[1]: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/php-4.0.6' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1" Now I do actually have libphp4.la, so i don't know what it is grumbling about now. Cheers, Jenny.

Andrew Glover said: >Why didnt you 'apt-get install php4' ? Because I'm stupid? In fact, I think I tried apt-get and had various problems. Plus following advice. It's installed fine anyway(she blustered), I just need to be able to load up the lib.php4.so module in apache but don't seem to have it. Ta, Jen
