RE: [PHP4BETA] Openlink/PHP4 problems

Brian, Try using the RS6000 version of the software instead of the Powerpc. Some people have had problems resolved by using the other version. Also, make sure you have the SDK if you are going to compile PHP with Openlink. Feel free to open an online support case at http://www.openlinksw.com if this does not resolve your problem.
