PHP
hey, im setting up a LAMP server on my laptop, running Fedora Core 3.
I have successfully setup Apache and MySQL using a helpful tutorial i found. but when i follow the instructions to install php, i get an error and it dosent finish configuring.
The tutorial told me to enter this:
-----------------------------------------------
./configure \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--disable-debug \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-inline-optimization \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-mm=shared \
--enable-safe-mode \
--enable-track-vars \
--enable-trans-sid \
--enable-wddx=shared \
--enable-xml \
--with-dom \
--with-gd \
--with-gettext \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-regex=system \
--with-xml \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib
so i entered all of that into my terminal and get this back

Im quite quite new with Linux so i have no idea what to look for. Any help and I will be forever in your debt.
Much thanks
