dependency problem

[Kevin M. Shortt]

Hi Everyone,

I have freshly installed Fedora Core 2.
I am receiving an "Unresovable chain of dependencies" for php 4.3.6-1.3.
(see clips below)

I downloaded the missing dependency (compat-libdb-4.1) and began my
installation. (see clips below for details) That build is requiring so
much more in order to reconcile this problem. I do not want to add
15 new packages just resolve and update dependency.

What is the best way to handle this? What options do I have?
Any and all comments are appreciated. Thanks..

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
