Should I remove the --with mysql ... If you want MySQL support in PHP you *must* include the --with-mysql option. If you don't specify the location of the MySQL library files (the part after the "=") then PHP will use its built-in libraries which is fine on the RaQ3. > and to have GD support, do I need a 'with gd ...' > if so, what would that be? (I thought it was included) Yes, include --with-gd. --with-gd=/usr should do it. I don't recall what version of GD is on the RaQ3 by default so you may want to check and if it's old you may want to consider upgrading before installing PHP. > Or if I install postgres.

I recommend searching the list archives for cobalt-users. You can find them at the AIMS Group archive site, same site you referenced in your post. It might be a better idea to ask about the PHP install on cobalt-users (go to www.cobalt.com to subscribe, after searching the archives of course) since everyone on that list is running RaQ systems, while my guess is that only a fraction of the people on this list are. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/
