Note Submitter: doodleelephant ---- I'm installing PHP 5.0.2 on Redhat Linux (I forget the version. Enterprise WS 3 I think) I had troubles installing the libtidy. It consistently complained that it could not find 'libtidy'. I finally got a clue into how to install it (in build/gnuauto/readme.txt). This is how I finally got it to install (after lots of trial and error): First, don't get the binary distribution of of tidy.sf.net. It's not what you want. You need the source distribution. Command by command this is what I did: ======= wget http://tidy.sourceforge.net/src/tidy_src.tgz tar -xzf tidy_src.tgz cd tidy /bin/sh build/gnuauto/setup.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install cd [php source directory] ./configure --with-tidy=/usr --[other extensions] make make install ======= Tada. Finally it doesn't complain when I configure PHP about the installation. The info I needed was stuck in that build/gnuauto/readme.txt file in the tidy directory. Took me a while. Hope my trials can help others save time. Doodleelephant
