Still having problems with fdftk

I STILL cannot get fdftk working properly. I am VERY upset, as this is one of the big reasons I'm using PHP. If this won't work, I'm going to start looking at Java and dumping PHP! I upgraded to RH 7.1 to see if that would help - NOPE! So I uninstalled the PHP & Apache rpms and decided to install everything from the tar's. I am using Apache 1.3.19 and PHP 4.0.4pl1. I have successfully installed Apache and PHP. When I try to add the --with-fdftk switch for the configure script, everything installs correctly, but Apache won't start. It gives NO error messages anywhere, except that it won't start. I'm at my wits end with this one. My client is getting VERY upset. I do NOT understand why this doesn't work. I've tried PHP 4.0.5 also and get the same thing! Any ideas? Jon Peccarelli jon@destyne.com
