Gentoo Release Candidate 1.4

I. Synopsis:

This is how I got around an install error with php

II. Steps:

I did this after I ran emerge php (which failed when it couldn't locate
libjpeg)

1 - enter dir /usr/portage/distfiles (cd /usr/portage/distfiles)

2 - Issue this command to decompress and untar:
bzip2 -dz php-4.3.1.tar.bz2

3 - Change to the php directory:
cd php-4.3.1

4 - Start build process with this command:
./configure --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib

5. Complete compilation and installation with:
make
make install

6. Check install with:

make test
