Re: php 4.0.6 & SCO: intallation nitemare.. as usual. Please help?

Hi, I know how you feel my friend, count yourself lucky you don't use Informix in the combination aswell - now that's a real pain in the bottom ;o) I've just got back from my hols and will very soon be trying version 4.0.6. From what you're saying I'm in for fun. I don't think you're brain dead as I agree that there always seems to be problems with the SCO build. I've spent a great number of hours getting new releases to build and in turn then helping others mainly off-list to do the same. If I manage to get 4.0.6 to build I'll let you know. - Paul - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gaetano Giunta" <g.giunta@libero.it> To: <php-install@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 4:22 PM Subject: [PHP-INST] php 4.0.6 & SCO: intallation nitemare.. as usual.
