Yes, that is the problem when people say: "just" run yum install <foo>, having not in mind that the whole thing is dependent on which repositories are configured, when the package is not part of the Core.

At least there at Dag's site I found a package for FC1.

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*
