Hi JO,

Thanks for the reply. I am still in the dark but I can see the light. I
just cam to that very same conclusion after pondering the same error
message.

I am using freebsd 6.1 as the server. I don'tknow where to get these
header fils from aparently as php states, they no longer bundle it into
the source.

Can you tell me where to get them from?

So if I am understanding this correctly, on my apache machine, I have
to place these header files in a directory and then I can include that
path in the configure command. Is this correct?

Frank
