upgrade expat from version 1.95.6 to latest one

Hello,

I encounter an issue to upgrade (or installing from scratches by first uninstalling version 1.95.6)

I would like to know what are the eligible steps which need to be taken when I would like to have the lates version of expat inside my server.

The OS is : Centos 4 32 bit

when I run phpinfo() function from the server then I get the following output:

XML Support = active
XML Namespace Support = active
EXPAT Version = EXPAT Version

Also I have found expat files in the following location:

Thanking eveyone in advaned

Can someone assist ?

Please post me an output of:

P.S. did you do "./build clean", before "./build php n" ?

Hi,

The output is :

empty

p.s.
I tried to add the following rows:
--with-expat-dir=/usr \
--with-xmlrpc

but this is not working.
when I try to recompile PHP then I get error.

SO,
I did some investigation and found the following:

The current version of expat was installed through RPM. ( I meant to version 1.95.6)

As it seems to me , when expat is installed through RPM then there is no need to use : --with-expat-dir=/usr \


also , some more info:

run the following command:

# whereis expat
The output is:
expat:

# rpm -qa | grep expat
The output is:
expat-1.95.7-4

So , I need to figure out , how to uninstall "expat-1.95.7-4" (by the way , now I have noticed that phpinfo() give output "1.95.6" and rpm -qa | grep expat give output "expat-1.95.7-4"

so , maybe I need to know how to uninstall RPM ? and this will help me to uninstall "expat version 1.95.6" ?
