fedora core 4

Just installed Fedora Core 4 on my laptop.
Cool man!
The interface is so beautiful!
I love GNOME! :D

Do all the ussual things:
rebuild the MySQL RPM version 5.0.18-standard downloaded from the mysql site. Everything went OK.

rebuild the PHP RPM. Found out that the default version for the FC4 is PHP 5, not PHP 4. There three solutions:

1. downgrade to FC3
2. downgrade the PHP to PHP 5
3. use PHP 5 in the PHP 4 compatibility mode

Since I've done a great deal customizing, the 1st option is out of question.

Then I tried the 2nd option. I've downloaded the src RPM PHP 4 for the FC3. When I tried to rebuild it, it responded with some strange error. After a quick googling, I figured out that FC4 is shipped with GCC 4. GCC 4 is bad! (well, at least for compiling the PHP 4 package for the FC3)

So I take the third option. Edit /etc/php.ini, set parameter: zend.ze1_compatibility_mode to On from it's Off default.
Then run a test....
Extracted a newest jpgraph, the latest pro version 1.21p, which specifically designed for PHP 4, then run the test suit.
Some oops, about some missing True Type fonts.
Do another googling then download the msttcorefont package, to correct this oops.
After this fonts things, the jpgraph test suit seems to load OK.

So can I be sure that the PHP 5 run in compatibility mode will fully compatible with PHP 4??? :-/

huh

Just realized a thing....
I always wonder why I did that....
Why I choose another person, after I said to another person that I can not live without her.

All these years this thing haunted me. I have troubles sleeping at night because of this.
All these years, I kept wondering, what will happen, if I didn't choose the path I've taken.
All these years I kept blamming myself, for the indecisive person I am.

This morning I finally realize why I did that.
I was jealous!!! :((

Before I made that decission, I met her at the mcDonald Citraland.
It supposed to be our reunion.
I saw her with her high school boy friend.
I guessed that memory some how recide in my sub conscious.... :((

Years have passed....
I've done my share with another persons....
She has done her share....

Just wondering....
Can we start up fresh???? :-/

fedora core 4 and python 2.4.2

Just downloaded a python 2.4.2 source RPM. I tried to rebuild it using rpmbuild --rebuild command. It failed. It complained about a missing db 4.2 library.

After a quick search, I found out that there is no db 4.2 library in Fedora Core 4. It was shipped with db 4.3.

I solved it by making a db 4.2 symlink pointed to db 4.3 library file(the .so file).
