Hello,

I'm unable to compile PHP5 from LSWS interface. I instead get a screen that is stuck on "Step 3 : Preparing for building PHP 5.3.3 Binary" with the following message:

Code:

Changing to build directory /opt/lsws/phpbuild

Help would be greatly appreciated!

What version of lsws are you running? Is it possible for you to run 'sh -xv /opt/lsws/phpbuild/buildphp_1289121589.5.prep.sh' manually from command line and see where triggers the 'test: argument expected' message?

Looks like your local tar (doesn't support z option) is not Gnu tar compatible. Hence the error below.

Are you running a Sun server? If so, you may get Gnu tar from http://www.sunfreeware.com/. For OS like certain solaris distribution that does not have GNU tool chain installed, it is recommended to install all GNU packages first. http://www.blastwave.org is another place to look for these packages.

webizen,

Our server is running on Solaris 10. Since I am still relatively new with Linux I would like to know if you provide a service to help fix the problem?

Regards,
Christopher

Solaris does have zlib. The error below just means Solaris native tar doesn't support z option (gnu style).
