RE: [PHP4BETA] error(s) compiling DOM xml module...

Steve,

Many, many thanks!  I had no idea where to look for that, and never would've
guessed it.  XML DOM support is now compiled in and (allegedly) functional,
all I have to do now is start fighting with it...

One more quickie for the list... --with-pdflib=/usr/local fails at the
configure line:
...
checking for PDF_show_boxed in -lpdf... no
...
even though I just compiled pdflib 3.0, installed it to /usr/local, and
earlier in the configure script it says 'yes' to the 'checking whether to
include Pdflib 3.x support...' line.  Any ideas?

Jesse
