I tried compiling PHP 5.2 on CentOS but after so many tries I gave up. I was getting struck at compiling PHP with gd. And without gd it was useless. So I decided to yum and install the same.
By default if you use yum install php it will be install only php 4 series and not 5. In order to install version 5 I had to enable repo centosplus.
yum install php –enablerepo=centosplus
or
yum update php –enablerepo=centosplus
I came across another interesting repo for yum by kbsingh and after installing I was able to install a lot more. If you are interested please check out this website
Have fun !! 😉
Muy buen aporte al menos instalo todo pero en el php (5.3.1) em salio una observacion:
PEAR package PHP_Archive not installed: generated phar will require PHP’s phar extension be enabled.
ocasionara algun tipo de problema con el PEAR
Espero sus rptas.
