Re-compiling PHP
 

Could someone please give me some insight into how to recompile PHP. I am using PHP 4.2.2-17.2 on a Red Hat 9 box.

The install instructions for the module I wish to install are as follows:

====================================================
To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with --with-pdflib[=DIR]. DIR is the PDFlib base install directory, defaults to /usr/local. In addition you can specify the jpeg, tiff, and pnglibrary for PDFlib to use, which is optional for PDFlib 4.x. To do so add to your configure line the options --with-jpeg-dir[=DIR] --with-png-dir[=DIR] --with-tiff-dir[=DIR].

When using version 3.x of PDFlib, you should configure PDFlib with the option --enable-shared-pdflib.
====================================================

If anyone can help....or ideally a step by step guide, I would be very gratefull.

Thanks in advance
