just something from :http://lists.omnipotent.net/php3/200006/msg00078.html Quite Important!!! Just to have it in the archive I am responding to myself. I managed to get it to compile. The problem lies with the PDFlib and the options you compile it with. I was seeing some errors in reference to the png functions inside the PDFlib being undefined. I decided to recompile without PNG support. (--with-pnglib=no). Even though my system has PNGlib in /usr/local/lib. I tried it both ways and disabling the PNG support seemed to be the way to go. After recompiling, PHP is no longer stopped on pdf_show_boxed. HTH somebody... Tom Walsh > System: BSDi 4.1 > > Trying to compile PHP4.0 with PDFlib support.
