Hi there all, I have the following syntax, i am using it to configure PHP5. Unfortunatly during the configure test it stops after a while at:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-gd --enable-soap --enable-sockets results in: Configuring extensions checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes checking libxml2 install dir... /usr/local/lib checking whether libxml build works...

I tried to use the --with-jpeg-dir attribute, this didn't help. Could someone perhaps give me headstart to get php5 installed please? Hope someone knows a solution, Kind regards Bannister
