Well, every time I post a question, there's no answer. I just assumed there was no one here... When I (tried to) install 4.4.2 I got some strange messages. I'm not sure if these messages signify warnings, errors, or general information I can ignore. Can anyone tell me if my installation successful? Do I have to do something to "fix" PEAR?

Installing PEAR environment:      /usr/local/lib/php/

[PEAR] Archive_Tar: bad md5sum for file /usr/local/lib/php/Archive/Tar.php [PEAR] Console_Getopt - already installed: 1.2 [PEAR] HTML_Template_IT: bad md5sum for file /usr/local/lib/php/HTML/Template/IT.php [PEAR] Net_UserAgent_Detect- installed: 2.0.1 warning: pear/PEAR dependency package "pear/Archive_Tar" installed version 1.1 is not the recommended version 1.3.1 warning: pear/PEAR requires package "pear/XML_RPC" (version >= 1.4.0), installed version is 1.1.0

[PEAR] PEAR           - upgraded:  1.4.6

Wrote PEAR system config file at: /usr/local/etc/pear.conf

Nothing really fatal there. You could upgrade Archive_Tar. Just type: pear upgrade Archive_Tar

I also tried to build PHP this way (recommended by the phpEasyProject folks) but, again, I had problems: ./configure --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs --with-zlib --enable-xslt --with-dom --with-dom-xslt --with-xslt-sablot --with-mysql --with-pear=/path/to/PEAR I have two questions: 1) I got an error:

    checking for DOM support... yes
    not found
    configure: error: Please reinstall the libxml >= 2.4.14 distribution

How do I fix this?

Install the latest libxml2 package from whatever mechanism you use to install system libraries like that. For me it would be: apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev

2) Isn't PEAR included with the php build? How can I supply path/to/pear when it's not yet installed?

It is. If you type: ./configure --help You will see it says: PEAR:

  --with-pear=DIR         Install PEAR in DIR [PREFIX/lib/php]
  --without-pear          Do not install PEAR

So that option is simply telling it where to install it. And the default is indicated in the square brackets if you don't supply anything. The default prefix is /usr/local, so it would end up in /usr/local/lib/php By the way, you really should build PHP 5.1.x instead. -Rasmus
