The installation instructions for 5.x discourages you from installing from source and suggests that you install from the pre-built binaries. As I haven't had time to figure out how to install 5.x yet I decided to stick with one of the 4.x releases. So if there's nothing compelling in 5.x that you need then you could just use one of the 4.x versions as installation of those are straightforward: Extract the tarball ./configure make make test make install Then add '--with-pdflib=/usr/local' in your php ./configure command. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer. -- Robert Frost */
