	Right; after a couple hours tracing, I find that for some reason,
	devel/libtool15 says that regex/regcomp.lo isn't valid.


	<output>

	I have php4 and apache running on other servers, and there,
	when I point mozilla at a php file, it works, of course..
	--So: nothing to do with the "extensions"; for unknown reasons, 
	php4 will not build.   

	Has anybody else experienced this snufu??

	thanks, Joe.
