Unable to compile PHP 5.3.29 On CentOS 7.0: Configure complains about BZip2 not in expected location

Hi; My first post about issues with compiling PHP... Unable to compile PHP 5.3.29 On CentOS 7.0: Configure complains about BZip2 not in expected location I'm fairly good about the "configure; make; make install" dance for open source software, but now and then I run into mysteries. I'm responsible for moving forwards an old PHP 5.3.3 (LAMP) dev and production environment into the more modern age. The developers use the abandoned "php-template" extension. I plan to move them forwards into one of the more modern day PHP template engines (Haanga, Twig, Blitz, etc) but first I need to move to a more recent platform and then to a more recent version of PHP. I captured the output of "php -i" from the current dev system. In that output is the configure syntax used to compile PHP. I used that same syntax and received the following error from configure: checking for BZip2 support... yes checking for BZip2 in default path... not found configure: error: Please reinstall the BZip2 distribution I've checked and I do have bzip2 installed. I'm wondering if it is looking for contents of the bzip2-devel rpm? If necessary, I can provide the configure syntax that I used, but I'm hoping that the question is sufficiently phrased to not need that. Thanks, Ken Wolcott
