For this reason I made sure I removed all traces of Apache > 2 first. The PHP version I use is 4.3.0. Then how did you get pear to work? Did you downgrade gcc/glibc as well? If so, then you could have saved yourself a lot of time and just installed RH7.3... Interesting is that both RedHat and SuSE are now shipping apache2 default, so there's gonna be a whole pile of these threads on this list RSN. Also, this is not a production machine. It's a laptop. And I'm only running it as a development/eval environment to keep up with the current technology (NOTE: no rawhide, alpha or beta stuff, I've grown too old for that). Matter of fact that's why it's the only machine I got running RH8; to look at gcc, apache2, and all the other stuff that appears to only have problems with php ;^( So I would feel pretty silly turning this supposedly current machine into a slightly-behind-the-times-but-bullet-proof machine. No wait, then I'd be using debian. *rimshot* Ok, I need to get serious now. If any of the following are true: * php will not build from source on stock RH/SuSE * pear will not function properly on stock RH/SuSE * php will not build with apxs2 * php will not build wth gcc 3.2 or glibc 2.2 Then it should be made painfully, blatantly obvious at php.net BEFORE these poor people lose hours/days/weeks trying to find where they messed up -- especially if it is not 'user error', but incompatibilities between different versions and distros. This is a recurring thread, can we identify the problem and make sure it's a FAQ and prominently displayed on the website? Even if it is only a reminder to me, in case I forget when I check back next month for updates?
