Well, I would very much like to upgrade to 10.0, believe me :-)

The point is: This whole thing is running on our server which serves all 
the students as well (see www.ltsp.org). If I just "upgrade" to 10.0, I 
would have to restore all the little scripts and gimmiks I have applied 
over the last 2 years or so to make it running smoothly and it would 
certainly destroy all the users' (about 120) settings and so on... So 
this server as it runs here is "mission critical" to everyone else in 
the house. It's not as easy as if it was a single machine standing in my 
office (and even then: On the old PC which is still in use here, there 
is a 7.3 running, just because it's running and doing a fine job the way 
it is, you know). The only way I could imagine to upgrade the system 
without too much headache for everyone would be to include another set 
of harddisks into the server and setup a completely running and tweaked 
new system there, then copying all personal users' files over there and 
start and pray... :-)

I've been trying to compile the 1.9.x series for a couple of times now, 
and usually it wanted to have some database installed. I did not see the 
point in having a database just to be able to compile an IDE, so I was 
living fine with 1.0.x, did a lot of programming with it and still am. 
This pcre thing was new, however, and I thought the configure script was 
smarter now and  it might be possible to compile the new version with a 
little tweaking, that's why I asked.
