Only list what actually GOT installed, with version numbers: GD version 2 PNG version 1.x.y JPEG version 2.6.1 Not really any more verbose. > The problem I have with this is that all of that information is > already findable from the configure output.

The problem I have with NOT having it is that about a zillion newbies don't realize that there WAS an error when they asked for JPEG support (or whatever) but they don't have JPEG lib installed, or they typed the wrong magic in ./configure, and the configure process blindly moves forward and installs "just fine" and then they end up NOT having JPEG (or whatever) and wonder why there was no error message. Because the error message was BURIED in a zillion lines of configure/make output, which appears incomprehensible to the newbie. Only with many practice runs does one realize that you have to watch the configure output as it flies by to make sure you get what you want. I'd MUCH rather have the default list the modules and versions, and a "quiet" (or "not-verbose" or ...) option for experts that want to skip it. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
