[CentOS] Re: Updating PHP

Tom -

I need a refresher here!  If I remember correctly (it has been several 
years since I was exposed to this), the .srpm is the source, but I am 
not sure how to rebuild it.  The configure that includes Interbase is

# ./configure --with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird

Can you point me toward some examples of recompiling the .srpm for PHP?  
That really makes sense.  As I have said in other messages, it is about 
every few years that I need to revisit this aspect of Linux, so my 
abilities are limited/rusty.  The rest of my time is spent with Delphi 
writing applications for my clients in the "other" environment/OS.
