What about the compression? > > Thanks, anyway! Let me first say: You can do easily gzip the file you get afterwards - no problem with that :-)) The source for the problem has been long time hidden. But after several month now the Debian people found out that the problem is in the source-code and the way they compile the libs. Therer method for compilation is "the new standard", however they got a problem just because of their way of compilation. They're now on it to fix the problem at it's root - but this shouldn't be too easy I heared. Other distributions still compile the "convetional" way - so that's no problem for them. For more details have a look at my email from two weeks ago on pear- dev: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&m=107747715727012&w=2 Regards, Stefan
