Note Submitter: jon.sprague(at)itgco.com ---- This is what I did to get DOM to work with PHP on a Linux box. 1. I installed zlib-1.1.3 from source (http://www.gzip.org/zlib/). Don't forget the "./" in front of configure (the README leaves this out). I did a ldconfig -v (and I checked to make sure libz is there). 2. I installed libxml2-2.4.9 from source (ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libxml/). I used the "--with-zlib" extention. I looked at the output of configure to make sure it found zlib (looked something like this: "checking for zlib.h... yes"). I did a ldconfig -v (and I checked to make sure libxml is there). 3. Then I installed PHP (ver. 4.1.1). I used the "--with-dom --with-zlib" extentions. I then made sure PHP recognized them by reading the output of configure: (checking for DOM support... yes), (checking if the location of ZLIB install directory is defined... no) I ignored this, (checking whether to include ZLIB support... yes). As always reading the INSTALL and/or README files help tremendously. I hope this helps someone!
