That's what Ralf and I suggested all along. By the way, the problem is that most of the web developers don't know anything about IT. I guess most of them use Windows (and you can't expect a Windows user to compile stuff), and the majority of the other half uses Ubuntu and never even saw the shell, they're using Ubuntu Software Centre. I'm not talking about those who go to conferences, but the vast majority of PHP coders who never wrote a single bit of native code and never had to compile anything.

Right or wrong, good or bad, the gulf between PHP developer and C > developer is *huge*, and doing anything at all with the PHP engine, We're not talking here writing code in C. We're talking here typing "configure" in shell, hitting enter, then typing "make" in shell, then hitting enter. It's not really *that* hard. OK, there are all kinds of envt problems and so on that could happen, but on standard Linux with standard libs that's pretty much it. But if even that is too hard, how about making something like spec file for RPM and a script that d/ls a snapshot and then builds a RPM from it? Installing RPM shouldn't be too hard? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
