[horde] I'll pay...

[Ed.Lazor at AtFantasy.com]

Green light...
 
Horde is finally giving me a green light on everything.  It required compling Apache and PHP from scratch, as well as persistently trying to compile gd, imap, mcal, openssl, modssl, jpeg, and png.  Basically, it was a total pain in the butt, because various things kept complaining and I had to figure each problem individually.
 
The Horde stuff was fairly easy, once I discovered:
- install PHP and then *rehash the login*
- grab copies of Horde via the CVS instructions
- run "php install-updates.php"
- run "pear install <name>" on each of the items complaining on the test.php page.
 
Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to keep trying.  Now hopefully I can sigh in relief and start enjoying Horde.  If I run into problems, it's clear the list is more than happy to help.

	Just remember to have a recent binutils (sed, awk, etc) and a known working
	gcc on the system.  We had an issue this summer where
	apache1.3.x+mod_ssl2.x+openssl0.9 would compile, but php would find a fault in
	sed, upgraded and things went fine
