Are you trying to upgrade you php setup via Yellow Dog's rpms, or build php from scratch on a Yellow Dog system. I have Yellow Dog at home and I have no problem compiling php+mysql+apache. What I would do is uninstall your existing php rpm % rpm -e rpm -qa | grep php And follow this build instructions. mysql: ./configure make make install ./scripts/mysql_install_db cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d cd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d ln -s ../init.d/mysql.server K99mysqld cd ../rc6.d ln -s ../init.d/mysql.server K99mysqld cd ../rc5.d ln -s ../init.d/mysql.server S99mysqld cd ../rc3.d ln -s ../init.d/mysql.server S99mysqld safe_mysqld & php: cd php-4.0.0 ( cd ../apache-1.3.12;./configure ) ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 \ --enable-track-vars make make install cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini apache: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \ --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a --enable-module=so make make install edit /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment the php lines as well as the php3 line (except the application type should be php and the extension should be .php3) /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start done!
