I am attempting an install of PHP-5.2.3 on a Fedora 7 Machine. This is part of my overall install of SNORT. After providing the following configure command:
Prior to this error, I had received an error concerning an "libpng" file. I downloaded the "libpng 1.2-19rc1 source file, configured and was able to get past that.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get past this. I am new to all this so if you need more info, let me know and I'll post it.
I'm not too familiar w/ Fedora, but I read a lot about people
