I used it a while back on Solaris, but the principles remains
valid. The main gotcha is making sure you get the right version of the
Zend optimiser for your version of PHP. Then it's just a matter of
unpacking it and following the installation instructions (which, from
memory was to edit the php.ini file and restart apache) You shouldn't
need to recompile anything.

One of the easiest ways to figure out which versions of the software
you have to is to create a page along the lines of:

<html>
  <head><title>PHPinfo</title></head>
  <body>
    <? phpinfo(); ?>
  <body>
</html>

and reading the interesting values from there. When the Optimiser is
up and running, it'll add an entry to the phpinfo.

Have you have a look at the APC? Last time I tried it, the thing
compiled but wouldn't run, although this was on Solaris. Sent back the
patches I had to make to get the thing compiling, but don't know if
they were ever included. In any case, that was a while ago, and it
looked like an interesting and promising project:

Looking at the site, I fear that the project's not doing very
well....

Cheers,

Simon
