hi ...
i download the lasted version of php in tar.gz format ..
i unpack, ./configure with my options, make, make install..
it's all working ...
but my rpm database was "outdated" ..
now , when i try use apt-get to install any package, returns this error message:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
php-mysql: PreDepends: php (= 4.2.2-8.0.7) but 4.2.2-8.0.5 is installed

if remove php, it's will remove yours dependencies (mysql, pgsql, etc modules) ...

the way to correct this would be transform the tar.gz to src.rpm and build a binary .rpm to install with rpm -Uvh newphp.rpm ???

howto this ??
The answer is checkinstall. See the checkinstall web site:
http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/

Is not only can build rpms from source, but also slackware tgz and debian debs. Checkinstall should be part of the Red Hat standard install in my opinion because it allows you to keep your rpm database updated when using source packages.

I've created a checkinstall rpm for Red Hat 8.0 (using checkinstall of course) on my web site:
http://nxdomain.us/
Go to the Downloads area. There are a few other Red Hat 8.0 rpms on my site as well, such as the latest versions of IceWM, nano, gq (ldap browser), and aterm.

Best Regards,
Keith
