RE: Compile vs. Apt-get(was woody+php+php-nuke)
I had under the former subject.
I had originally had Debian (stable) set up with php4 and a site done with
php-nuke.
I started working on a new project that, because of certain requirenments,
was better suited for woody. So, I upgraded. During the upgrade, it
un-installed php4. After the upgrade, I went into dselect to add php4 back
in. When I try, it complains that it needs a version of apache lower than
the one in woody, and won't install. I then installed php3, but have not
been able to get the site back up, because the php3-mysql module will not
talk to mysql. So I considered just compiling in php4 manually. Which I do
not want to do if that would mess up apt/dselect.

If you got the php4.tar.gz file, untarred it, ran configure, then did a
make install, Debian will not know that you have the php4 package
installed, and it will not upgrade your php4. The only way Debian can
know that you have php4 installed is if you install a .deb using dpkg
(atp,dselect,etc.).
What are you doing that you feel you need to compile packages that are
already in the Debian archives? If you give us some more information, we
might be able to point you to the "correct" procedures.
