To put me out of my misery? Or you?

What are the last few lines before the make "***...Error" line that you gave?

Once again, what is wrong with the prebuilt php4 that you're trying to fix? Or is this all an exercise in masochism?

I can't remember exactly, as it seems a long time ago, perhaps I could retry......there were some probs so I left it a few weeks and have just come back to it. I'm still a bit hazy on what is the easy way and what is the hard way here. :-) I seeem to choose the hard way every time by mistake, anyway. Thanks, Jenny.
