It works.  Thanks for the info summary.  It seems that php is working.
So I will have to look elsewhere for my Web problem.  It could be the
file I am looking for has not been properly added to the SVN Trunk  or
the link name has been changed.  I'll see if I can chase it down.

php-5.1.6-3.5.fc6

Thanks again Tony, a couple of old lessons re-learnt -- start testing
with the basics (KISS) -- and even those (e.g. members of my LUG) who
seem to know what they are talking about, don't necessarily know what
they are talking about.
