1. You need a later version of RPM (specifically v4.x, "major number"
means the "3" or the "4" in the version. Since you're using 3.0.3, your
major number is 3.). As mentioned earlier, you can get this stuff from
<http://www.rpm.org/>. Please note that when upgrading my former RedHat
6.2 system to RPM v4 I messed up and my RPM db had to be redone. By redone
I don't mean the simple "rpm --rebuilddb" that you always have to do to
upgrade your RPM db. I mean I had to remove everything and reinstall. I
had neither the time nor the patience nor the motivation. I installed
Debian. Just a word of caution. I am in no way promoting any distro. ;>
2. You may prefer to get your PHP RPMs from Troels Arvin. They're updated
more frequently, are modular, and have i686 optimized binaries for your
convenience. His site's at <http://rpms.arvin.dk/php/>. I believe his RPMs
work with RPM v3.
