Can someone suggest a way to install PHP for my suse 7.2? I downloaded from ftp.suse, and when I try to install, I get these errors. This feels like I'm about to enter a rat's nest.
I'd rather be coding like a monkey.
HELP PLEASE!!!
The errors simply mean that you are missing some packages. Some of the package names are more obvious than others.
rpm -iv *core* error: failed dependencies: libc-client.so is needed by mod_php4-core-4.0.4pl1-102 This is part of imap-devel
libcurl.so.2 is needed by mod_php4-core-4.0.4pl1-102 libgd.so.4 is needed by mod_php4-core-4.0.4pl1-102
These are in the curl and gd packages
libltdl.so.0 is needed by mod_php4-core-4.0.4pl1-102
This is libtool
libmcal.so is needed by mod_php4-core-4.0.4pl1-102 libmcrypt.so.4 is needed by mod_php4-core-4.0.4pl1-102
These packages are called libmcal and libmcrypt

This is in mysql-shared

expat Lets just hope that these don't in turn require you to install further packages. Regards Ole
