from a position of blissful ignorance, i promised someone i'd figure out how to install memcache under fedora 12. a quick google brought me here: http://jungleg.com/2009/04/15/installing-and-configuring-memcached-for-php-in-fedora/ but there's something a bit confusing about those instructions. currently, on my f12 system, there are no memcache-related packages, so i started by installing the obvious: # yum install memcached and that was the only package installed. that package lists "libevent" as a dependency but that was already installed so i was fine there. however, the instructions on the aforementioned web page read: "Finally we need to get the Memcached extension for PHP installed. Again using yum: yum install php-pecl-memcache" we *need* to get that extension for PHP installed? really? but if it's necessary, why is it not listed as a dependency for memcached? what if i *don't* install it? how does memcached work *then*? just curious about that lack of dependency. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
