I need a guide explaining *how* > to compile the PHP Source. The directions to compile the PHP source *are* on the page at http://us4.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php -- you compile it using the "make" steps in the directions there. (But it seems the problem is that you don't recognize those as compilation instructions, which is understandable if you're a newbie. The page also says that Basic Unix skills (being able to operate "make" and a C compiler) are a prerequisite, so you probably should find a person you can rely on to deliver those skills repeatably or teach them to you, which is not something you really get from a mailing list. Get a good intor Unix book. After all, you wouldn't expect that if you subscribed to a heart surgery mailing list and said "I'm a complete newbie -- can you tell me how to do a quadruple bypass?" someone would step you through it? Yes, there are differences in degree, but...! :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
