    having this sort of time travel into the past is stretching it a little
    bit. but let's see how it goes Smile

    LiveSupport 1.0.1 works with PHP 4.x. What is the exact error you get?

    library dependencies are described in the tarball under doc/instal.html,
    also available online: http://code.campware.org/livesupport-dev/install.html

    as for the minimum hardware requirements, you're right - so far it's
    been more-or-less working on all sorts of hardware we've installed it
    on. but maybe your 9 year old machine will be the one that's too old for
    it Smile

    Documentation:

    OK thanks for the information, I didn't think to look in the tarball, might be a good idea to put that documentation in the on line "manual" as I'd guess most "customers" don't want to delve into the detail of compiling their own and just want to install the software. I assume you want LiveSupport to be used by non Linux developers!

    I will install PHP4 later this weekend.

    I know I am pushing the bounderies with this old system, but its a good learning tool!

    I was recently asked by my 10 year old son if I was "a nerd or a geek" hmmm how do you answer that? I should get out more I guess Smile

    Cheers
