When ./configure stops and complains, it usually means you are missing a dependency. On Fedora Core 3, you need a lot of 'devel' libraries to compile php from the Fedora-packaged source successfully. You can quickly check whether you have a package installed by following what Paul suggests above, or search the rpm database with rpm -qa. For example: [rlc@bobcp4 ~]$ rpm -qa | egrep curl curl-7.12.1-1 curl-devel-7.12.1-1 Bob <--- [rpmbuild@otdaweb php-4.3.9]$ rpm -q curl curl-devel curl-7.12.1-1 curl-devel-7.12.1-1 and

tried to rebuild the php initially, it does scream about missing dependencies. I spent the morning copying the devel rpms I needed, and installing them. I installed them as root using: rpm -i <devel rpm> Thanks! Chris
