If you compile something, it's compiled to the same architecture that you specify, which by default is yours. have you tried compiling your executable with the same setup as you're currently using? You can't compile to be architecture independent. The best you can do is convert a language to a byte-code, like java. To expand on this, just a little, once you compile an application, you have locked it in to a specific CPU, OS and versions of the requisite dynamic libraries. The compiler options and your tool set define which range of each of those it will actually run on. The only way to make something completely independent of the architecture is to distribute it in source code form. In this case, you are probably better off defining minimum versions for the web server and PHP module that is required and allow the user to install those on his own. Most distributions already have those components packaged in an easy to manage kit. Bob McConnell -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

thanks for the reply. I know it is not a PHP problem. And I want to know whether it is possible to make it architecture independent.
