Naturally, I've stumbled at square one. After creating the files and doing phpize, ./configure yields: . . . checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... yes creating libtool usage: mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory ... configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating config.h config.status: config.h is unchanged If I have stumbled my way through "configure" correctly, then I think the problem is that it's trying to create a directory in /tmp I can't do that, as /tmp is reserved by my host for root. I *DO* have access to /var/tmp, which is a 'tmp' dir, if I can somehow override $(TMPDIR=/tmp)... Is there a clean way to do that, or should I just hack "configure" directly and move on with life? Would it be useful to have a PHP_TMPDIR for this? Similar to PHP_AUTOCONF which I needed to use, as my host has: /usr/local/bin/autoconf213 /usr/local/bin/autoconf253 /usr/local/bin/autoconf259 And similarly for autoheader, of course. I guess different packages need/prefer each of those, so he finds it handy to have them all. Works for me. [shrug] Or am I the only goofball on the planet whose /tmp dir is out of bounds? I could take a stab at making a patch for this, though odds are pretty good I'd get it wrong... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
