Yeah, I found that page right after I sent the email.  Figured this 
would be a nice easy way for me to make rpm's for all the systems I have 
to mess with (instead of the 'old fashioned' way ;).  I tried it out on 
a box that I already have php installed from source, so I just did a 
make clean and removed the config.cache, and rebuilt php from scratch 
with my options.  Instead of make install, I did the checkinstall, and 
it built a RPM like promised, but the RPM wasn't built to the custom way 
I have things installed. eg, I had configured php with iconv, and 
installed iconv from source in /usr/local, but for some reason when I 
try to use the rpm on the same machine that it was built on (and php 
with iconv is running fine), it tells me that it failed the dependicies 
for libiconv.so.2 (which is in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib as the 
iconv rpm installs it).  Course, it could be that it's barffing because 
iconv isn't in the RPM database on this box (since it was installed from 
source).

Okay, I'm rambling, and getting off topic.  *L*
