[TriLUG] PHP RPMs and XSLT

[Jeff Tickle]

Hey TriLUG...

Well, I had major plans to attend the last meeting, but at the last
minute something came up.  I hate those things that always come up at
the last minute.  Next month, I'll kill them.  :-P

Anyways, I'm sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I'm not entirely sure
where to go about this one.

The only RPM for php-xslt that I can find is for PHP 4.2.3-9.  Of
course, the one that ships with RH9 is PHP 4.2.2-whatever, which ain't
going to work.  I can't find any RPMs for 4.2.3-9 for RedHat, and when I
try to install the ones built for other flavors of Linux, of course,
there are plenty of dependencies that I don't have the patience to
resolve.

And that's why I use RPM in the first place: impatience.  Compiling
things is fun and all, but it's ever so nice to just have it where it
needs to be, when it needs to be.

So I removed all my PHP RPMs and compiled it myself.  Can't get XSLT to
work that way.  Besides, that really defeats the purpose of RPM.  If
there's a problem, it doesn't need to be worked around, it needs to be
fixed.

Sorry.  Rant there.  And I know...  "You can help by fixing the
problems, because its open source!"  It's great.  Except I don't have a
single clue where to begin!  Can anyone help me here?  If someone can
tell me where to get more recent PHP RPMs for RH Linux, or how to get
XSLT to work with the RPM'd PHP, or whatever, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

-Jeff
