Hello,

I am installing PHP 5.2.6 on a redhat 9. First it gave me an error of not having libxml2.6.11 or higher.I downloaded and installed that.Now the make command is giving me this error. (partial error displayed)

Did you try giving it the path to libxml?

 

 

Just of curiosity, why not just use yum?  Does it have to be PHP 5.2.6 and not 5.2.0?  If you don't care, then just do "sudo yum install php5"

How do I give the path to libxml ?

and I also tried using yum...it says.. Insufficient server config - no servers found. Aborting.

--with-libxml-dir=/path/to/libxml

Where does linux install programs if you you dont tell any locations by --prefix=/path? I gave the location of extracted source files of libxml folder, but that did not work either.

 

I tried using php 4.4.9 and that was also giving me errors, this time related to zlib.

 

Screwed up!
