I've been trying to upgrade my php from version 4.2 to 4.3 but I keep getting errors while trying to install. The original install was done with the rpm package and I would love to know where a compatable one is if there is such a thing. My only other alternative is using make. I don't have a lot of experience with transitioning from an rpm; however I've been following the directions. One of the things I did was get a phpinfo() page generated and I copied the configuration (.configure) with all of the configured options. I also am a little confused about what directory to install to try and 'upgrade' from my current version and keep it working with the apache 2.0 and mysql 4, both of which were installed via rpm. I know that the /etc/php.d directory has a few .ini files in it but I'm not sure if this is where I should locate the files. When I issue the .configure (cutting and pasting from the phpinfo.php page listed below): './configure' '--host=i386-redhat-linux' '--build=i386-redhat-linux' '--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu' '--program-prefix=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--cache-file=../config.cache' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-bz2' '--with-db3' '--with-curl' '--with-dom=/usr' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-ttf' '--with-gdbm' '--with-gettext' '--with-ncurses' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-pspell' '--with-regex=system' '--with-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--without-oci8' '--with-pear=/usr/share/pear' '--with-imap=shared' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos' '--with-ldap=shared' '--with-mysql=shared,/usr' '--with-pgsql=shared' '--with-snmp=shared,/usr' '--with-snmp=shared' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-unixODBC=shared' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-dio' '--enable-mcal' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs' I get the following output: loading cache ../config.cache checking host system type... i386-redhat-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for AIX... no checking if compiler supports -R... no checking if compiler supports -Wl,-rpath,... yes checking for re2c... exit 0; checking for ranlib... ranlib checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking for bison... bison -y checking bison version... 1.35 (ok) checking for flex... flex checking for yywrap in -lfl... yes checking lex output file root... lex.yy checking whether yytext is a pointer... yes checking for working const... yes checking flex version... 2.5.4 (ok) checking for pthreads_cflags... -pthread checking for pthreads_lib...

Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Possible reasons follow: 1. Perl is not installed 2. apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs 3. Apache was not built using --enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed) The output of /usr/sbin/apxs follows: ./configure: line 5080: /usr/sbin/apxs: No such file or directory configure: error: Aborting Now I can see the /usr/sbin/apxs error however the originl php rpm install must have configured this.
