Sorry but that view is totally unreal.

Not one of the ZendStudio tarballs will install and run successfully on 
Freebsd 5.3.

The server tarball will.

So will someone please revisit the false notion that ports are not necessary 
for Zend. It looks as though the tarballs are designed to work on zenix but 
not on freebsd.

I am hopeful that there will be some response fairly soon.

Thanks
