It takes 10-15mins tops, on decent machine. Certainly less than half an hour. The time you took for testing and searching for RPM could easily have taken longer than the time you'd taken if you recompile PHP to suit your need. I do this on regular basis, so I know. It's not a matter of platform, BSD, RH, Mandrake, Suse, anything, it does not matter. What matter is, is PHP compiled with what you need, againts the correct libs? > > You can check the configure option of your current PHP RPM that you said > > you have just by doing this on the scipt: > > <?php > > phpinfo(); > > ?> > > i know this.. > > > If the Configure option does not have --with-mysql in it, than it won't > > have the mysql functions. > > it has it... So, what's the problem? What's the error? It's hard to understand what you really want. If you want specific answer, gives us specific problem and good question. Rambling and ranting does not help. I was just guessing on what was your problem and what you needed and try to give general answer. All I can gather from what you said so far is you need newer PHP version for command line and it needs to have mysql functions compiled. You only said it worked on bsd, not on RH. > > Redhat cannot always provide the latest RPM for every software included > > in its distro. > > > > RDB RDB -- Reuben D.
