hai dan thank you for your suggestion regarding the google thing.. thank god u said me that or else i could have never known that google will get me all the results. dude i just asked this question thinking that some one would help me find the solution not for fun. regarding the thing of compiling i require it to be done, hai kesavan thank you for the help i have done that search and i found the things but the thing is that it is an old version of the gcc that is still exisiting in the yum repository. i require one dependancy apr-1.3.3 for the compiling of httpd 2.3.5 which i have found out, but the thing is that it requires two more dependancies uname >=2.6 and rpmlib<=4.4.6 which are not available in the yum repo.. i better try to do this on my own.. thank you guys for your help Chaitanya On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 1:53 AM, Kesavan Rengarajan <k7@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > As someone else mentioned in the list, try the remi repository. > > If you still want to compile from source, then this is what you do to > search for packages: > > yum search packagename > So you would be doing: > yum search gcc > and then install the missing package before compiling php. > > You may have to install a few missing packages and it's not really a lot of > fun :(. > > Also, I would like to let you know if you are going to be using Zend > Framework, you better stick with the 5.2 series as I know that there are a > few issues with 5.3 and ZF.
