Infrastructure Software

Dear all,

I've set up a Solairs machine, using the 'End User Group' install option, to try to minimise the amount of hardrive space occupied by installation.

I've installed from "Sun Freeware" binary releases of Apache, PHP, MySql, and all works fine.

However, the reason I used binaries over compiling it myself, is that I CANNOT get GCC to compile.
And now I have to get GCC to compile, so I can add modules to PHP.
This is utterly frustrating!

I've google-ed alot, and I cant seem to find any aother information to what I already have found (which has lead me to install the above packages under "'we will say GCC compile' dependant" section)

I'm really hoping one of you can work this out, as i've being driven mad!

Thanks! I look forward to your reply!

If you need any other information, i'll be happy to provide it.
