Hi!

I want to install PHP 4 via RPM on a CentOS 5 server.
I downloaded the CentOS 4.5 , installed all needed dependency
packages, but I'm having troubles while building the RPM:

I was having compile errors with the Apache APR module, I had to
make a symlink form apr-config to apr-1-config, since the package
expected to find apr-config which didn't exist, and had to pass via
CFLAGS the result of "apr-config --cppflags --includes --cflags"

Now I reach a stage, where some test are made, I to check fo some
PHP bugs and it fails there...
I removed the first bug giving probelsm to see what happened, and
failed with another one, which it's really strange, bugs like the
#23951 which was solved in June 2003... I don;t understand why is
this happening..  :(

Has anyone been able to compile a PHP 4 RPM on CentOS 5 or are there
any available SRPMs out there already prepared for this?

I've compiled PHP 4.4.7 from source downloaded form php.net
<http://php.net> with no problems, but I would like to install it
via RPM, preferably by using the CentOS PHP 4 RPM.
If there isn't, I will compile directly form source and not use RPM,
but would prefer to do it via RPM if possible

Thanks in advance,

Juan

PS: please, don't reply telling me to use PHP 5, I NEED to use PHP 4
on this case, will migrate to PHP 5 ASAP, but still can not do it
yet  :)

Well ... if you want php 4, then use centos-4.5 ... unless you are using the centos-4.5 version of all things that php compiles against (httpd, apr, etc.) then you are going to have nothing but problems trying to downgrade the version.
