Hi,

Im trying to install PHP 5.2.6 on a shell account. after using gunzip and tar commands according to the installation process, i moved to the php directory.

i typed "make" then but recieved the following error

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

On listing the contents of the php directory i found, the subdirectories and various files but i cant see the "make" file.

Can anyone please help?

It seems you skipped the configure step.

Try ./configure before make. The config step is the one where u need to specify what modules u want to have with PHP. Take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php.
