What am I doing wrong?
Never modify "configure" scripts. You need to modify the autoconf template the configure script is built off of. In the case of lang/php5, autoconf is run to build the configure script during the "make configure" stage (which is being executed during part of "make install"). Note the USE_AUTOTOOLS line in the Makefile. Make your changes to configure.in. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
