I recently got around to install php on a Sun (Solaris 8).
There were more than one stumbling blocks, but here's a
major one I wanted to report.

I had installed BerkeleyDB, among other stuff, and by
default, the path to it is BerkeleyDB.3.2.  (This is
done via pkgadd command using the package from
www.sunfreeware.com).

The file configure in php-4.1.1 (top level directory) has a line:

	for i in /usr/local /usr /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.0 $withval; do

That 0 was a problem.  When I changed the 0 to 2 it went
flawlessly.  Here's a diff between the original version and
the one I used:

	*** configure   Wed Dec 26 02:43:05 2001
	--- myConfigure Thu Jan 17 13:11:20 2002
	***************
	*** 15322,15328 ****
		withval="$with_db3"
	
		if test "$withval" != "no"; then
	!     for i in /usr/local /usr /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.0 $withval; do
			if test -f "$i/include/db.h" ; then
			  THIS_PREFIX=$i
			  DB3_EXTRA=db.h
	--- 15322,15328 ----
		withval="$with_db3"
	
		if test "$withval" != "no"; then
	!     for i in /usr/local /usr /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.2 $withval; do
			if test -f "$i/include/db.h" ; then
			  THIS_PREFIX=$i
			  DB3_EXTRA=db.h

I imagine maybe this is a good thing to fix.
