Thanks to Ray, Richard and Mikael for the help on this. I compiled it in my home directory and tested it on a computer here and then tried the same on the Compaq Raq server. The problem I got was simply one of not having anywhere near a big enough disc quota. To cut a long story short, the owner of the computer only recently removed php and is willing to put it back on next time there is work due.
Thanks again to you all for your help. Regards Chris Hunter, Ray wrote: >This is a not so good idea...When you compile the compiled files are for >that system only.
