Just so we are all clear. It doesn't matter which linux distribution you use as long as the distribution supports the ppc architecture which most do. As long as you have the gnu compiler suite and all associated tools and libraries, php will compile fine.That makes sense; I had a suspicion this might be the case. I have no experience with SUSE (just RedHat and Gentoo), but I'd imagine it has all the requisite GNU compilation tools.
From: "Pierre Ancelot" <eternityos@free.fr> yes, use debian: http://www.debian.org and study the apt system you'll get no problem. (php 5 is not in "sarge" which is what you should use but compiling php5 on it gives no problem.) and debian supports very well ppc...Unfortunately we're stuck with SUSE (pre-installed with the IBM OpenPower series servers). My company wants to stick with it. I won't complain too much though; as long as it's linux, I'm ok. -- Aaron Gould Parts Canada - Web Developer
