Re: Compilation errors (file-entities.ent cannot be fopen'ed)

I figured out what the problem was: the PHP that ships with Red Hat is configured with --enable-safe-mode, and this directive is commented out in scripts/php.ini. If I re-enable it, everything works. safe_mode seems to be commented out in php.ini since the first version in CVS, is there a specific reason for this? Are there any pointers to 'uncommenting' this directive? I couldn't find anything about it in the PHP Documentation HOWTO (like, "what to do if compilation doesn't work" or something like that). Anyway, I'm glad it works, so I can start real translation work.
