All you need to do is this - get the php-4.3.0 SRPM from: http://www.aucs.org/rpmcenter/ Place it in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS. Then (as root): rpmbuild --rebuild php-4.3.0-1.8.0.src.rpm This builds php 4.3.0 for your system, with your version of MySQL client, etc. I had to do this because I have different versions of MySQL on my different machines. One thing, you may need to do the same with httpd-2.0.44, I think that is what I did but it was not hard. For one machine I removed all httpd- and php-related rpms and started from scratch. If you can do the same, I highly recommend it. It feels good that way. -- Mitch
