Hi and thanks for your time.<BR>
<BR>
We are in the process of migrating a large php application from RHEL to Debian, and there are some issues with it in later versions of php than 5.2.5. We ahve alot of test failures simply changing php from 5.2.5 to 5.2.6 let alone 5.2.10.<BR>
<BR>
We are investigating fixes, but meanwhile I want to move the project forward and I am trying to build a deb package for 5.2.5.<BR>
<BR>
I found a debian folder for 5.2.5-3 in the SVN repository, and I have resolved some library changes, but I am currently getting stuck when debuild is trying to run ./configure.<BR>
<BR>
It looks like it is due to the version of automake or something similar, here is a snippet of the output:<BR>
<BR>
....thousands of similar lines....<BR>

<BR>
<BR>
Do you have any guidance on where we can try from here?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
