note 10801 deleted from install.solaris by betz

Note Submitter: spamtrap1@lightrealm.net ---- After quite a number of retries, and a good bit of searching the rather scattered hints, tracing errors, slogging through makefiles, etc, etc...I wound up having to do this to get php/apache to compile under a relatively pristine Solaris 7 environment with Apache 1.3.9 and php3-latest from Dec 8: 1. Install gcc (of course), flex and bison 2. Untar and configure Apache, then configure/make/make install php, as per the directions. 3. Enter apache-1.3.x/src/lib/expat-lite and 'make libexpat.a'. Chown/chmod/copy libexpat.a to /usr/local/lib. You might also need to chown/chmod/copy *.h to /usr/local/include/xml. 4. Finally, you can configure/make/make install in the apache source tree as per the PHP instructions. Why I needed to do that third step manually, I don't know. Maybe it's expected that I do everything as root; I prefer to do all compilation as an unpriviledged user, then do the final installs as root. I would've expected things to compile, and subsequently find, all the expat libs under the Apache source tree, though. At any rate, it certainly wasn't as dead simple as the various instructions promised; either that or I am just Big Dummy.
