Re: FDF support in RedHat (make error)

Exactly! I agree with you 100%. That's why, even if you RTFM, google your question and search the archives, you need to ask some (very basic) questions to the list. Questions like: If the manual says fdftk.h is a header file, why it should be in the includes directory as opposed to the headers directory? For me this is a very intelligent question (and advanced too) because I have no idea of linux or compilers. (or as a metter of fact, what is a .h file). So I think, a list is the best place to ask questions: basic, stupid, off topic, advanced or what ever. If you want to anwer them ok, if you don't, thats ok too. Just MHO! Jason Wong wrote:

The manual has to assume quite a bit of stuff, like it assumes that you know what a file is and what a directory is. It has to draw the line somewhere as to what should be prior knowledge. It would be a massive manual indeed if it had to cover everything from installing an OS to compiling php.

The php manual isn't meant to be a tutorial on how to use a computer/OS/compiler/whatever. For that there are better and more appropriate resources available.
