Dear Fellow PHPers, In yet another of our billion builds of PHP 4, we have realized that there is another issue that should be clarified in the installation documents (or, perhaps, that the installation process needs to be modified). It appears that when one builds PHP as a CGI (standalone), modifications are made to the source tree that prevent it from being installed subsequently as an Apache module -- PHP builds but it can not be installed -- the process dies dealing with the make target install-sapi. Somehow the installation process appears to want to find libraries in a directory named libs (which was used for the CGI build) rather than in .libs, which is the directory normally used for the module build. Probably something in the environment is being irreversiably modified during the CGI build, but we have not been able to determine what it is. Either this glitch should be fixed, or the installation documents should make it clear that you must start with a fresh copy of the source tree. Keep up the great work... Thanks and Cheerio, Rick Rodgers & Ziying Sherwin
