Mark -

Since this has been a learning experience on my "learning computer", I 
reinstalled Linux (getting better at this :-) ).  And I get exactly the 
same results as you do.  The next step will be to install Interbase and 
then see if I get the same results.  BUT, installing the new php over 
the old creates some challenges for me.  The "rpm -e" comes back with a 
list of all ov the dependent programs (expected).  Is there some easy 
way to "just slip in" this updated version without removing all of thoe 
others?
