Hi, needing this package working I think I've probably found a bugfix for this. I read in bug #321324 (php4-dev) that build-scripts need to be changed: "As of php4-dev 4:4.4.0-1, this is a bug in the build script, and you should be using the value of 'php-config4 --phpapi' instead."
So the phpapiver line in the debian/rules file should be changed to: phpapiver=$(shell php-config4 --phpapi) Compiling this patched source package made php4-idn installable again. A quick test show that the package seems to work. What I don't know is, why phpize still talks about the old phpapi revision, during the debuild: dh_testdir phpize Configuring for: PHP Api Version: 20020918 Zend Module Api No: 20020429 Zend Extension Api No: 20050606 ./configure Volker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
