After working with this problem for a while, I am now making progress. I've seen this problem that people have been coming across throughout the Internet and since I now have a solution, I wanted to share it with everyone else out there.
I had a problem where I was unable to install the Zend PHP server under Fedora (16 or 17, 32-bit or 64-bit). Each time, I would get a 'cyclic' error that kept coming back to 'zend-base' and couldn't move past that.
Well, after bouncing some e-mails with Zend Support, here's what I got. I needed to manually install 'zend-base' with rpm and, after that, I was able to get the Zend PHP server to install. Here's the sequence of steps I performed:
yum install httpd
rpm -Uvh http://repos-source.zend.com/zend-server/5.6/rpm/x86_64/zend-base-5.6.0-276.x86_64.rpm
yum install zend-server-php-5.3
The 'rpm' install required that httpd be in place already, so that's why I had to do that first. Afterwards, the installation of the Zend PHP trial server (or the CE edition - I tried both) worked perfectly fine. I now need to proceed on with the testing of the DB2 stuff (thanks again, Daniel, for the great step-by-step!!) and once I get it working, I'll share it.
