I want to upgrade my database to 5.0 while using php4
we have been using php4 provided by RHEL, which i don't want to
recompile myself right now, because i'll have to do it everytime there
is an update.

What i did was instal mysql's devel compat and client packages.
Then got the source rpm from rhel.

cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.2/ext/mysql/
phpize
./configure --with-mysql=/usr
make
cp ../modules/mysql.so /usr/lib/php4/

I would suggest you modify your /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/php.spec instead,
as you do want the build to be as similar to the official RHEL version
as possible and by default just rebuilding the sourceRPM you will get
the mysql support too.

rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/php.spec

this will generate new RPMs in your /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386, I do
suggest you update the RPM revision number with one, this way you can
update the installed version with 'rpm -Uvh <packages>'.

I do suggest you use the sourceRPM from Fedora Core 5/6 when you build
your new mysql, this way you will keep the RPM system working.

We have a restriction on where we install from. We will loose our
security certification if we stay too for from rhel's repo.

I had trouble when i try to recompile all of php.
rpmbuild -ba php.spec
....
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.3.2
+ install -m 755 -d /var/tmp/php-root/etc/
+ install -m 644 php.ini-dist /var/tmp/php-root/etc/php.ini
+ install -m 755 -d /var/tmp/php-root/usr/lib/httpd/modules
+ install -m 755 build-apache/libs/libphp4.so
/var/tmp/php-root/usr/lib/httpd/modules
install: cannot stat `build-apache/libs/libphp4.so': No such file or
directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.45089 (%install)


RPM build errors:

rpm -qa |grep httpd
httpd-devel-2.0.46-56.ent
httpd-2.0.46-56.ent


as for mysql where using mysqls rhel3 rpms.
they are built staticly, and compiled with intel's compiler rather then gcc.
