Well.....
# php -v
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Jul 31 2008 00:08:07)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

rpm -qa |grep php
php-cli-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10
php-ldap-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10
php-pear-1.4.11-1.el4s1.1
php-mysql-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10
php-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10
php-pdo-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10
php-common-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10
php-gd-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10

and

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.8 (Final)

so, I ask again, How do I resolve the missing dependency.

Problem:
    I am trying to update the php package PHP Version 5.1.6 on CentOS 
 release 4.8 to get rid of a script error:
 "PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function dom_import_simplexml"
 
 while running yum update php I get the following
 
 
 --> Running transaction check
 --> Processing Dependency: libt1.so.5 for package: php-gd
 --> Finished Dependency Resolution
 Error: Missing Dependency: libt1.so.5 is needed by package php-gd
 
thanks, Terry
