If you fix that ld problem and just type 'make' again, then you will have that null test_char.h file. A 'make clean' clears this up. I don't see any reason for this to be a common problem. If your libraries are where they should be and your ld stuff is correctly configured, it should be smooth enough. I have probably built Apache-1.3.x and PHP3 on at least 100 different combinations of operating systems and databases without ever hitting this problem. -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
