I can't seem to compile php5 on my 10.2 system with a custom 2.6.13 kernel.

./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-unixODBC --with-pgsql

seems to go just fine. After saying "No, thank YOU," I type make and the compile crashes right away with voluminous error messages of which I include the beginning and end below.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

Sheesh! It seems you are missing a large part of PHP. The zend stuff and the types of error messages seem to indicate that there is a library / opject code file that the rest of PHP must link against that doesn't exist. Do you have an untainted PHP download?

I compile my PHP with much the same settings as yours on my FC3 2.6.14.3 based system and it works just fine. It also works on an older Rh9 2.4 kernel based system I have a t work.

The only thing I can guess is that somehow, your PHP download is not complete and there are files missing, specifically files relative to the zend engine, which is the core of PHP.

It's working now...used the sources from Slackware instead of from php and they compile just fine. Thanks...Brian
