Shridhar, I've been running Slackware 9.0 for about a year and have been pretty happy, but -- as with any distribution -- I have had to compile when I wanted something that was not provided. Generally speaking, any time you want to make a custom setup that someone else didn't anticipate, you have to run the compiler. Please remember, the developers of Slackware (and every other piece of OpenSource software) are providing a free service. They deserve nothing but praise for giving their work away. Also, if they included every possible option in the pre-compiled binary packages, those packages would become unreasonably large and inefficient. So they include only the most common options. I suggest rolling up your sleeves: -- download the PHP tarball (from the PHP project page), -- untar it in /usr/local/src, then cd into the directory -- type "./configure --help | more" (no quotes) and read it. -- Take notes on what options you want to include with configure. They will all go together on the command line when you run ./configure. For example, there might be an option "--with-pgsql" or some such, optionally followed by "=" [the location of the pgsql libraries on your system]. Then go for it, it's not that hard. Once you've run "./configure" with the options that you want, you typically will just type "make", then "make install". While the compiler is running, you can always continue Googling. If ./configure chokes, find out why and try to fix the problem. That sometimes requires a little sleuthing, but almost never takes more than a couple days. Alternatively, perhaps you could offer to pay the developer of Slackware (or someone else) a consulting fee to roll you a custom version. Shawn Harrison P.S. I apologize if others consider the original post too off-topic for a reply -- tell me if you think so. But it seemed necessary to address the underlying assumptions.
