installing php 5.2.1 with checkinstall

[Tiron Adrian <tiron_adrian@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
 

I have php 5.1.6 ,the latest available with yum and i wanted to upgrade to 5.2.1

I have downloade 5.2.1 run ./configure,make and the checkinstall. When i wanted to install the newly created rpm i got the following errors:
 

# rpm -ivh php-5.2.1-1.i386.rpm 

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

Is it safe to use the --force option?

just in case this is the output of rpm -qa | grep php on my machine(i thought it would be useful)
 

rpm -qa | grep php

php-5.1.6-3.4.fc6

php-pear-Date-1.4.7-1.fc6

php-cli-5.1.6-3.4.fc6

php-mbstring-5.1.6-3.4.fc6

php-pear-DB-1.7.6-7.fc6

php-common-5.1.6-3.4.fc6

php-pear-1.4.9-4

php-mysql-5.1.6-3.4.fc6

php-pear-DB-DataObject-1.8.5-2.fc6

php-pear-Validate-0.7.0-1.fc6

php-pear-MDB2-2.4.0-1.fc6

php-pdo-5.1.6-3.4.fc6
 

So as you can see php,php-cli,php-mbstring and php-mysql are the same version : 5.1.6

If i install JUST php 5.2.1 wouldn't that break the dependencies with the other packages?
 

Thanks.
