[horde] [freebsd-questions] Can't build php5?

[Patrick Baldwin]

First, my apologies to Beech for replying off-list, I'm on a few others
that work a bit differently, and I was a little quick with the send
button.

On to the issue at hand:

And apparently continues to be so.  I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

In the meantime, this leaves me wondering if I should try and uninstall
imp, and re-install once this server is back.  I am under the impression
that installing via a package should cause any dependencies of the 
package to be built with the options the package needs to run (if I'm 
wrong on this please let me know),  so it seems like I may end up 
chasing dependencies for awhile if I just proceed from where I am right
now, since it obviously couldn't build PHP with the options needed for
Horde/IMP to work.

Also, it;s mentioned above that several people have reported this 
problem.  My Google searches didn't turn anything up; is there someplace
I should be checking for issues like this before posting here?

Thanks,
