HELP PLEASE!!!

The errors simply mean that you are missing some packages. Some of the package names are more obvious than others.

This is part of imap-devel

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

I think you will also need libmcrypt_devel too if you want to use mcrypt with PHP4. M

if you have the suse cd you can do this automatically through yast. or yast 2. harry

Why are you not using Yast2?

I had some major problems when trying to get PHP4 to work with apache. What caused my problem was that PHP4 conflicted with the LDAP module. You might not have this problem but if someone would happend to get a segment fault when trying to start apache then this might be what's causing it. Disabling LDAP helps.
