Well first off... the normal sequence of events goes as thus: ./configure <options>
./make ./make install So you are missing a step in there. Secondarily, a "make clean" will only go through and tidy up bits of code that need cleaning AFTER an install. It will not "uninstall and clear space" as it were, so you have probably not really put yourself in a position to start all over. However, I am not sure how easily that can be helped. The biggest thing about installing ANY software from source is making sure you run ./configure --help first. That will show you, in tedious manpage form, what kind of options are available. The big thing, when I installed PHP on my machine, was simply to have apache installed and able to run first before attempting to hook up PHP. Also i had to dig through ./configure --help because I needed to use PostgreSQL so i needed to do something like ./configure --enable-pgsql to get things to run right. I am by no means an expert on this sort of thing, so perhaps another linux user could help? I didn't really use a "configuration script" to install my PHP, but a lot of people do, so perhaps they could share? regards, dan On Wed, 18 Sep 2002 21:14:04 +0200 "Sascha Braun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Right now I've made a make clean to start it all over. > > Would you like to help me a little? > > Thanks > > Sascha > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dan Ostrowski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Sascha Braun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 10:12 PM > Subject: Re: [PHP] Installation > > > > I would really never recommend using an RPM to install any server > components really.
