Re: Build PHP 4.2.1 on OS X: "Multiple Definitions"

Steve, I first tried the instruction in php.net's "INSTALL" document, and then the one from the book "Professional PHP4", which is specific to OS X. I've looked at the hints on developer.apple.com, but they're somewhat outdated (for PHP 4.0.6), they tell me to modify a "ltconfig" file, but I have no such beast. It says I need to enter something like this: archive_cmds='$CC -force_flat_namespace ... Sounds like it has something to do with the namespace problem you mentioned... but I can't find such a file. AFAICS the entropy.ch site only offers a pre-built PHP module, but I need FrontBase support, so (I guess) I have to build my own... A call to ./buildconf keeps telling me I have no "automake"; might that be the problem? I know where I can D/L the source for it, but I have no clue how to compile _that_ again... sigh... I would be really thankful for your recipe, maybe it gets me going.
