If somebody would want my spec file just drop me a line. I skipped xslt support; that would complicate things although on 22 Jul 2004 on this list, with a subject "New PHP 4.3.8 RPMS Released", Stuart Low wrote: > I've just released PHP RPMs for Redhat 7.3, 9, Enterprise 3 & > Fedora Core 1/2. > Announcement here: http://www.seekbrain.com/archives/000059.html > Repository here: http://www.seekbrain.com/downloads/psa/ That particular set included xslt and 4.3.10 is not that different from 4.3.8. As a matter of fact now you can find there 4.3.9 under http://www.seekbrain.com/downloads/psa/obsolete/7.3/RPMS/ which suggests that 4.3.10 is coming (I do not know that). php-4.3.9-sp.rh73.1.src.rpm is also close by. If you plan to make your own rpms you may want rather to start with that. As I wrote before in this thread 4.3.10 wants a newer curl, unless you want to configure that without curl, but one from RH9, i.e. curl-7.9.8, is sufficient and compiles on RH7.3 system without any troubles. I see also that you can find curl-7.10.4-2.i386.rpm, and other libraries you may possibly want for a "full house" php-4.3.10, at http://www.seekbrain.com/downloads/psa/7.3/ That repository is clearly set for yum. You may _not want_ to use that for other reasons, like compatibility with your applications, but a "slim chance" is not one of those.
