PHP5.1 needs libxml2 ... it won't install

Hello,

I tried upgrading to PHP 5.1.4 last night but ran into the issue that the ./build php_ap2 option stops with the error message that I need libxml2 2.6.11 or greater to install.

However, when I went to xmlsoft.org to get the source files or RPM's, I am still unable to install it due to the dependencies that it seemingly requires. I have used YUM to update all of the needed updates listed on the server. When I try to install the RPM, I get told that libxml2 needs libxml2-devel. Well libxml2-devel says it needs libxml2-python. When I try to install the libxml2-python files, it tells me I need GLIBC 2.3.4 and GLIBC 2.4, Python 2.4 RTLD and another package.

I thought about forcing the install by ignoring dependencies, but I thought that might not be a good idea.

Thoughts, suggestions??
 
I forgot to mention I run CentOS 3.4 and have upgraded to all the latest updates on YUM, run Apache 2.0.59 and MySQL 5.0.27.
 
Do this in this order:

yum update
yum install glibc*
yum install python*
yum install libxml2*

notice the wildcard (*)? This will install all dependencies for each lib that you are installing.

then try your php upgrade.
 
I already tried that over the weekend and this is the message I got:

glibc is installed and is the latest version.
glibc is installed and is the latest version.
glibc is installed and is the latest version.

When doing a version check, I'm running versions 2.3.2 of glibc, 2.5.10-7 of libxml2, and 2.2.3 of python.
 
I removed libxml2* from the system, but not by yum. When doing that yum told me it had nothing to do. So I used webmin and removed the libxml2 packages that way and told it to ignore the dependencies that were needed.

I got the latest 2.6.27 libxml from the ftp, extracted it, ran the ./configure command, ran the 'make' command, and finally the 'make install'.

After doing the 'make command' it spends 10 min compiling and then finishes up with this:

types.c:573: register name not specified for `__result'
types.c:573: register name not specified for `__result'
make[3]: *** [types.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/libxml2-2.6.27/python'

make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/libxml2-2.6.27/python'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/libxml2-2.6.27'
make: *** [all] Error 2
[root@stargatesg1 libxml2-2.6.27]#

When I do the 'make install' command I'm given the same output.

Any ideas??
 
I solved the problem. I went to the CentOS 4.3 repository servers and got the libxml2 RPM's from there and that seemed to work!
