Re: Re[2]: [cobalt-users] RaQ2 PHP-3.0.16

[Allan Liska <allan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay...Its fixed.

I uninstalled the gdbm and gdbm developer packages and rebooted the server
(sucks it has been more than a year since I had to reboot that machine
:-().

When it came back up, I reinstalled the packages, and then installed
PHP-3.0.16 with no problem.

gsh -- thanks again for your help!
