MAC OS X PHP Intall Problems - Setting Up A Database Table For NAG

Russel Thanks: I was acctually finally able to get PHP to install --with-apxs --with-gettext I downloaded gettext via FINK and then ran its ./confgire make and make install. Then tried the PHP ./configure and it worked! Of course now I have to figure out how to go about setting up a Database table? For mySQL. What im trying to achieve here is a running copy of NAG by www.horde.org If anyone is familiar with that let me know. Im not certain if a Database Table is a general thing or somthing that will be NAG/HORDE specific? Thanks!
