Re: compile error with libphp4.a on RH 6.2

Thanks for your help. The make works now. The problem I had was the install instructions in the book ""MySQL/PHP Database Applications". The first ./configure for apache says --prefix=/path/to/apache , with the instruction "the path where you would like Apache installed. The second ./configure also specifies /path/to/apache. But it should have said for the first ./configure /path/to/apache/sourcefiles and for the second ./configure /path/to/apache. Anyway, it all worked out fine in the end. regards Jani Taskinen wrote: > On Fri, 9 Mar 2001, Johannes Ambrose wrote: > > >Hi, > >I hope this is not a stupid question.
