Spent the whole day working on the mail server. Set up autorpm and up2date and updated a bunch of RPMs. Installed Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.3. The Apache install was clean and easy. The PHP install was very troublesome. I ended up using the --with-mysql switch without specifying a directory and was able to 'make' and 'make install' with no problems despite a warning called "configure: error: Cannot find header files under [directoryname]". Laundry, cleaning, garbage. Patrick and I sign a new 6-month lease to stay in our Parkside in-law. Our rent went up US$40 per month due to electricity and water costs. Our landlord Norita tells us that her husband Georges is the owner of The Butler and the Chef, a charming French cafe in the South Park neighborhood of San Francisco. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers. We watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on DVD.
