Re: yet another php4 install problem =(

dr> configure: warning: You will need bison if you want to regenerate the PHP dr> parsers. dr> checking lex output file root... ./configure: lex: command not found dr> configure: error: cannot find output from lex; giving up dr> does anyone have any idea whats going on here? These error messages are of the helpful sort....you need bison and lex/flex (at least). These are likely on your distro CD, look in "development tools" areas of package descriptions. You can also get these packages at www.gnu.org. --- From the PHP Manual section on installation on UNIX machines (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php) Prerequisite knowledge and software: Basic UNIX skills (being able to operate "make" and a C compiler, if compiling) An ANSI C compiler (if compiling) --> flex (for compiling) --> bison (for compiling) A web server Any module specific components (such as gd, pdf libs, etc.) ---- You may run in to other things you need to install, but the error messages in output are very helpful for telling you just what you need to get. - Julie --> Julie Meloni --> julie@thickbook.com --> www.thickbook.com Find "Sams Teach Yourself MySQL in 24 Hours" at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672323494/thickbookcom-20
