Hello I have apache2 running with module support. (enable-module=so at config) I also have the latest mysql running.
This is on a Mandrake 9.x box I am trying to get php compiled and installed, but it keeps barfing at the config step. I have been RTFM and searching the FAQs to no avail. I need some help please. You can see my config syntax below, just as the instructions state. But it barfs whilst looking for a lex output. I can locate 'lex' in an ocaml directory I downloaded. I do not think I have compiled any of the OCaml parts. In fact, I am unsure what lex and ocaml are. Should I find a 'lex' installer out there? Should I find a PHP.rpm? Does the rmp install the silly little apache modules in the right place? Thanks in advance for your help and ideas of what to try next.
