Problems compiling php on Fedora Core 1

[Robert L Cochran]

PHP has numerous dependencies based on the options you specify at 
./configure time. My suggestion is that you check the .spec file in a 
source rpm and look at the dependencies. Also, check each of your 
./configure options. Are all the dependencies these options expect 
satisfied? You should be able to crosscheck these on the PHP website.
