As a follow up to my last post, installing PHP-4.0.5 with the following
configure string enabled the RAQ550 GUI again, could be useful to someone
else who has killed their GUI from a PHP upgrade ;o)

I always use a configure.sh in the src dir to keep track of changes...

./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
        --enable-safe-mode \
        --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd \
        --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin \
        --with-zlib \
        --with-ftp \
        --with-iconv \
        --enable-mbstring \
        --with-interbase=shared \
        --with-pgsql=shared \
        --enable-magic-quotes \
        --with-regex=system \
        --enable-track-vars \
        --enable-trans-sid \
        --enable-xml \
        --enable-wddx \
        --disable-debug \
        --with-gd \
        --with-mysql=shared \
        --with-openssl=/usr \
        --with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
        --with-png-dir=/usr
