I’ve been trying to upgrade my PHP from 4.0.6 to 4.3.1 on RedHat 8.0. And after fooling around for awhile with it, I finally got it all working.
First, I configured php with:
configure –with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs –with-mysql –with-mbstring=all
When I did a make, I got the following error:
php-4.3.1/ext/mysql/libmysql/my_tempnam.c:104: the use of `tempnam’ is dangerous, better use `mkstemp’
So, I commented out the offending line. It then compiled to the end, but a ‘make install’ had this error:
sh: line 1: /usr/lib/httpd/build/instdso.sh: No such file or directory
Apparently, RedHat is missing this file. So I downloaded the file from here.
Then the ‘make install’ worked fine. Boy, so much trouble to upgrade to the latest PHP.
