PHP seems to require a magic combination of versions for libtool, autoconf, and automake that allow it to build properly, and can on occasion freak out if you don't have the right combo (Cliff, what is up with your slackware?). I've run configure and had it produce what seemed like a perfect run, only to realize that it didn't produce any Makefiles. Very strange. I like how apache *always* runs buildconf w/o failure on all my machines, regardless of autoconf/libtool versions. -aaron
