The installer is installing pre-built binaries, no ./configure or make is being run locally. For PHP many things now (such as mysql and gd) are handled by modules (just like for apache), take a look in /etc/php.d. MySQL support is include with FC4, however it may not be selected by default in the installer (it hasn't been in the past). If you install the php-mysql and php-gd rpms you should be all set. -- Brian Gaynor www.pmccorp.com FC4/Linux on DELL Inspiron 5160 3.0Ghz canis 13:29:53 up 4:57, 2 users, load average: 0.42, 0.75, 0.45
