That's OK, I knew this was coming. It's been a real struggle to be deploying something so old, yet CentOS insists on nothing but 5.1 in the packages unless you resort to some "volatile" repositories, which kind of defeats the purpose (in my case, that is). I used to always go with source directly but was really hoping to go the somewhat-brainless "auto-update" route, sticking to yum packages and all that. At risk of sending this thread too far down an OS-specific path, can anybody in the CentOS+PHP world comment on yum packages, 5.1, and this actual issue? (In the very beginning I scoured the Net, thinking surely 5.1.6 can't be the standard on CentOS, but kept running into the "either go from source yourself or use volatile repositories" claims, which aren't good in an enterprise case, though I realize using source isn't "bad" from that standpoint).
