./configure PHP5 issues

[CrazyIvan101]

Hey there

I'm new to this forum and was wondering if anyone could be of assistance.

I'm currently running a little linux box at home with Apache2, PHP 4 and
mySQL 4. I was attempting to compile PHP 5 from source but when using ./configure I got the following error:

#configure: error: libxml2 version 2.6.11 or greater required.

I then downloaded and installed the libxml2 rpm but alas the ./cofigure still throws the same error 😕

When I run #rpm -q libxml2 I get the responce: #libxml2-2.6.19-3tr
so surely this means the package has been installed?

I would appreciate any help/assistance!

Thanks alot!

Get XAMPP for linux and be done with it after removing all your present stuff, see the last link in my signature to get XAMPP for your OS.
