Further to my confusion, the PHP docs > speak to using tidy 2.0 with PHP5, but can not locate any other refs to > tidy 2.x) I've never have used the rpm for tidy, but in general it should in theory install libtidy in either /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib so you'll need to configure php like: ./configure --with-tidy=/usr or ./configure --with-tidy=/usr/local If that doesn't work, then the rpm may not have installed the libtidy. As for the tidy 2.x reference, that is referencing php's interface to tidy: tidy 1.0: for php4.x tidy 2.0: for php5.x Both tidy's use the same libtidy, it is just that 2.0 includes the new OO interface that PHP5 provides.
