yes, thanks, that works.

unfortunately, it's written in a very generic manner. nothing special  
on this 'NetBSD issue'...

that's not what i installed apc for ;)

okay, as stated above, this works well for me.

i'd like to request a change to php4-apc's output on installation,  
which reads:

www0: {7} pkg_info -D php-apc-4.3.10.2.0.4
Information for php-apc-4.3.10.2.0.4:

Install notice:
======================================================================== 
===
$NetBSD: MESSAGE.module,v 1.2 2004/11/05 21:50:11 jdolecek Exp $

To enable this module, add the following to /usr/pkg/etc/php.ini:

    extension=apc.so

and make sure extension_dir points to the dir where apc.so is.

Then restart your PHP4-enabled HTTP server to load this module.
========================================================================

i'd recommend sth. like a hint for the SHMMAXPGS increase...

sorry for the late reply, but i) the mail came _after_ pkg/29044 was  
closed due to lack of feedback, ii) i was in a big lack of spare time  
to do this :(
