Re: Re: ./configure stupidity

You may want to consider that RedHat 7.3 is quite out dated. If you just did your install recently I would firct recommend upgrading to RedHat 9. You might also want to consider debian instead. I'm a redhat fan but when it comes to keep packages up to date and providing advanced functionality in packages debian sure seems to beat the pants off of RedHat. But, sorry, that doesn't help your immediate problem. - Jeff On Thu, 2003-07-24 at 11:33, Nabil wrote: > please please would you help me to get > > mysql - gd - iodbc (odbc) - mssql - apache .... > > I need to upgrade because i need the new one with iodbc support not > unixODBC. > and i need it with ofcourse ( mysql - gd - iodbc (odbc) - mssql - apache > .... ) > I have read so many articles all over the web, and i reffered to php.net .... > MY PROBLEM is that i m new to linux and when it come to specify the DIR , i > got lost... > and when i make the ./configure , then make then make install ,, i got > errors always .., i untared the file in /usr/local/src and after everything > done , i echo phpinfo() and i got the version still there !!! > > I installed RedHat 7.3 ... the current php that came with redhat is > perfectly working just i need to make mssql and iodbc work... so if there > any other way please help me.. > > Please help me in details > > > "Cristian Marin" <cristic@iakt.rdsnet.ro> wrote in message > news:20030701065340.1365.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > I think it's very good as it is. ./configure actually is almost a standard > > for every compilation and is not ment to be used by a programmer but by a > > system admins.
