Would have been useful if the error message was "Unable to locate /usr/local/java/bin/jar" instead ;-) For some reason the java installation on my host does not include javac or jar, so I'll have to investigate that. Thanks

I am trying to upgrade php and have two questioins. 1) Do I need  to uninstall my current installation of php before upgrading, or can I just overwrite the current installation? 2) I have so far managed to download and unzip the source for php4.4.4.  However, when I try to configure my installation using the command line './configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--enable-safe-mode' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-curl=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-dom' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-ttf=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-t1lib=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-iconv=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-kerberos' '--with-ldap' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-pgsql=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-regex=system' '--with-pear' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbase' '--enable-exif' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-gmp=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-mhash=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-gettext' '--enable-mbregex' '--disable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-xml' '--with-xmlrpc' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-expat-dir=/usr/local/phplibs' '--enable-zend-multibyte' '--enable-dba' '--with-db4=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-bz2' '--enable-dbx' '--with-mcal=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-java=/usr/local/java' '--with-imap=/usr/local/phplibs/imap-2004f' '--with-openssl' '--with-magickwand=/usr/local/phplibs' '--with-imap-ssl' (I obtained this from phpinfo()), it fails with the error messages checking for Java support... yes checking Java Jar location... configure: error: Unable to locate /usr/local/java/bin The 'directory' /usr/local/java is a sym link to /usr/local/jre1.5.0_01/ which in turn has a subdirectory bin How do I fix this problem? Thanks
