On the download page at www.php.net, under the heading "Binaries for other systems", you write We do not distribute UNIX/Linux binaries. Most Linux distributions come with PHP these days, so if you do not want to compile your own, go to your distribution's download site. Binaries available on external servers: It is not clear to me whether your initial statement indicates only exactly what it says, or *also* that you wouldn't have a link from this download page to an external server with a UNIX binary. I am one of the volunteers at SGI who assists with the Freeware Project <URL:http://freeware.sgi.com>, which provides open-source software packages with binaries in SGI's "inst" format. I have been building PHP since the 3.0.16 release, and providing it there. The current PHP version available there is 4.0.6 *with* the security patches. We have a 3-month update cycle for this website, as the update coincides with our quarterly IRIX maintenance release. Would it be possible to have a link under "Binaries for other systems" to our Freeware build of PHP? The link would be to <URL:http://freeware.sgi.com/index-by-alpha.html#php> if you are willing to make it. The text description would best be "SGI IRIX 6.5.x". I have downloaded the 4.2.0 release, and hope to have it (or a successor) built and ready for the August 2002 freeware release. I appreciate your consideration. thanks, -- Steve Crockett | Team Lead--Energy/Chem/Bio Applications SGI | Industry/Vertical Apps Engineering 11490 Westheimer Rd, Ste. 100 | e-mail: spc@sgi.com Houston, TX 77077 | phone: (281) 493-8349
