Had a go at re-build
I got build script from :
http://slackware.uk/salix/i486/slack.../source/n/php/
I put line
–with-xmlrpc=shared \
in section of php.SlackBuild :
CFLAGS=”$SLKCFLAGS” \
./configure \
–prefix=/usr \
......
ran & it came up with line 79 alpine.SlackBuild missing
Then downloaded alpine from
http://slackware.uk/salix/i486/slack...urce/n/alpine/ at same level as php slackbuild dir
it built but moodle still moaning :
php_extension xmlrpc
should be installed and enabled for best results
The xmlrpc extension is needed for hub communication, and useful for web services and Moodle networking
bash-4.3$ php -v
