Thanks. That compiles nicely and seems to work - CentOS 5.4 - tested on both 32 & 64 bit

gc ? I cannot see anything in php.ini about that -- other than session garbage collection,
I assume that you don't mean that ?

Much of my motivation for APC is using large programs & class libraries (eg smarty, media wiki)
that take a huge amount of time to compile - but the execution path is only a small faction
of the code.


BTW: 'make test' fails horribly because the modules/ directory doesn't contain
most of the modules used (it only contains apc.so). Is there a way of having
''extension_dir'' as a '':'' separated PATH so that more
than one can be listed ?
