Linux question

[frummel]

If I work from the Linux shell, and I try to compile PHP, I can't get it the way I'd like it.

I go to the PHP directory and type:

./configure [ENTER]
make [ENTER] <-- after this some stuff happens??
make install [ENTER] <-- I get an error message?

SO as you can see I don't really get to compile the packages I'd like to install. Which keys do I have to use to get PHP compiled correctly?

&quot;Some stuff happens&quot; might be an understatement ;-)

What is the error given by 'make install'?? Can you post it here??

Okay.. I admit it's not a clear statement...
I am currently not at home, so I can't get to see the errors at this time.

After typing 'make' [ENTER] installation begins. But for instance, I can't get to configure the with-mysql-- part and other options, that need to be submitted after the 'make'-command. Installation starts without the configuration options.

You configure using the [tt]./configure[/tt] line (hence the name configure). This is where all the configuration switches should go. //Daniel
