I normally compile PHP straight from the regular source, however, this means that RPM loses track of what PHP version is installed on RedHat Linux (EL3), causing dependency and version mismatch problems. So it appears that I need to build an RPM from the normal source, then install it with RPM. However, I have no idea how to do this - can anyone give me some pointers? Is it as simple as adding a configure switch like --build-rpm?
Thanks,
Marcus
I haven't done it myself yet, but I've been thinking about the same thing. I had bookmarked these "how to's" while searching google.
