I've finally stumbled on the php5-* directories in the ports tree and it's compiling extensions right now, except that I keep having to deinstall an extension then restart the php5-extension make again so it can continue. Why isn't there a single folder under the lang/php5 directory that would put all of the extensions in the same place? Having them broken up into all of the varying places in the tree makes it extremely difficult to find them. Or maybe at least have sym links to them in one place. This is just for discussion, I don't expect an actual answer.......... Brad Mettee PC HotShots, Inc.
