How to install Roundcube on squeeze

Installing eAccelerator
eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator & optimizer. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.
eAccelerator only works with mod_php or php in fastcgi mode. It can't be used in cgi or cli because eAccelerator needs to set up shared memory, and this can only be done when all php instances that need to access it are forks of the first process.
1. Download the eAccelerator source. The latest version is mirrored on www.debiantutorials.com as it's not available on the official site anymore.
cd /tmp
wget http://www.debiantutorials.com/static/eaccelerator-0.9.6.1.tar.bz2
