Without thorough investigation, I can't be sure - but it looks like you have a packaged development version (e.g. cvs or for compiling libraries against) of php installed, and it's conflicting with allowing a non-development version. You would probably be best served by actually looking at the available packages and installing the ones you want, instead of attempting to install php*.

Here is another situation I find myself in. I did a rm -rf /var/* Yeah, yeah I know. So getting beyond the oops factor, I have been recreating the server. I installed a new harddrive as /dev/hdd0. I installed the old harddrive as hdd1. I did a new installation of 7.3 on hdd0 and copied the old /home and /etc to hdd0. I will be upgrading to newer versions of rh and then probably migrating to fc2 or white box linux. For now, I wanted to recover my machine to it's previous state. It is our DNS, email and web server. I have the email server back, the dns back, am working on the web site. I was just finishing up and restoring a php/mysql calendar and I got an error "call to undefined function: mysql_connect()" I googled and it seemed to suggest I needed some updates or php or mysql packages installed. I then d/l'ed from ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/i386/ (which i assume are the last updates for 7.3) to hdd1 and I just tried to rpm -U mysql* and php* I get dependency errors like " php = 4.1.2-7.3.6 is needed bye php-imap-4.1.2-7.3.6 so i rpm -U php-4.1.2-7.3.6.i386.rpm and I get "package php-devel-4.1.2-7.3.6 is already installed" so I rpm -q php and i get "php-4.1.2-7 Something seems obviously wrong. I f anyone has ideas, I would welcome them. -- Michael Cortes Fort LeBoeuf School District 34 East Ninth Street PO Box 810 Waterford PA 16441-0810 814.796.4795 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
