Hey Folks Thanks for the replies. The biggest issue I had related to the pear packages in particular. Scanning through the list further now I'm awake I have finally located the php4-pear-4.4.1p0.tgz package which will allow me to install everything I need for my applications. (although btw, I'm a little uncertain why you would install any /usr/local/bin/pear, which calls /var/www/pear/*, with standard php4-core when it just wont plain work... :) As for why not PHP5, because not every application I want to run has certified their compliance with PHP5, or just plainly states their stuff doesn't work on PHP5. Thanks again. Shane
