I asked on another thread about "why doesn't domxml_open_mem" work even though the PHP on my VPS (an RHEL 4 system) says it's configured with XML support. So I'm working on setting up a new copy of PHP to see if I can compile it with XML support. But, I'm stuck ...
PHP is demanding a newer version of libxml2 than is installed on the system.
I downloaded the libxml2 source (2.6.23) and tried to configure it. But it demands having g++ installed on the system. And g++ isn't installed, only gcc.
...okay... Let's take a step back ...
In general I'm having a real tough time knowing where to retrieve RPM's. And, especially, what the heck the name is for the correct RPM. There doesn't seem to be any index available for the RPM's.
I suppose everything I need might be already available as a precompiled RPM. But I find the RPM system to be extremely obtuse because of what I said - that is, what is the name for the RPM and where do you get it from.
The rimuhosting HOWTO's mention going to freshrpms.net -- but that site doesn't provide RHEL4 packages.
I've also looked at rpmfind and some other sites ... RHEL packages are tough to find.
