I am trying to install PHP 4.0 on a intel machine running Red Hat Linux 6.2. I have the MySQL version 3.22.32 installed and works fine. It is located in: /usr/local/mysql-3.22.32-pc-linux-gnu-i686 When installing the PHP with the ./configure command I get: *************************************************************************** * Attention! * * Something is likely to be screwed up here, because the configure script * * was not able to detect a simple feature on your platform. This is often* * caused by incorrect configuration parameters. * *************************************************************************** I have Apache installed, up and running, installed MySQL and tested it and it works fine. I get to the PHP installation and get an error that something is most likely wrong. I have included the contents of the debug.log file. MySQL is located in /usr/local/mysql-3.22.32-pc-linux-gnu-i686 and I also verified the location of the apxs to be correct.

P.S. PHP installs fine if I do not include the --with for the MySQL. Laurie A. Keith Network Manager National American University (605) 394-5008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
