Thanks! I have a crash dummy server here from the big RaQware guy to try out
new things on, so I will see what happens. I had grabbed rpm's from
rpmfind.net and did rpm -Huv I think to install, they show up in the
/usr/include/libxml2 but for some odd reason php5 didn't see them, I also
did a version check and it showed correct.

For the time being we installed 4.3.8 from source which went without a
hitch, since the older Nuonce package didn't have bcmath compiled with it.

With php 5 did you notice any issues with current php apps, like phpbb,
oscommerce etc?

Again thanks for the detailed reply.
