It could be that you have incompatible bits of PHP from both Zend and the default Ubuntu install running together. I've installed Zend Core for Oracle on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 and it went in easily and works. I did not have any PHP packages installed before this. If you type "whereis php" what do you get back? I get /usr/bin/php but that might not be truly helpful if Ubuntu puts it's own stuff there as well. One other thing to try, even though you get a segfault, is check that you are running the Zend version of php: Create a script phpinfo.php: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Then run it with : php phpinfo.php | grep -i zend If you get a load of stuff out abouit zend, then all should be well and you are running the zend version. Next up is check in your package manager (apt?) for any php packages that are installed. On SLES I have rpm, so : rpm -qa | grep -i php The results I get are: php5-zlib-5.1.2-29.35 php5-pear-5.1.2-29.35 php5-5.1.2-29.35 apache2-mod_php5-5.1.2-29.35 You might find tat you have additional modules installed, but the above is everything I have here, and it works. But I did have a load of SLES installed stuff before I started and I removed those before installing the Zend all-in-one version. Next, check for the current version of php as found on the command line: php --version PHP 5.1.2 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6 (cli) (built: May 18 2007 12:14:11) Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies This confirms that I am running 5.1.2 as my rpm query shows plus it confirms that the command line version I'm running is indeed the Zend version. Unfortunately, I can't offer any further advice on what to do I'm afraid. Everything is working fine for me here. Good luck. Cheers, Norman.
