Given that php in FC3 is [capt@bubudiu~]$ rpm -qa | grep php php-mysql-4.3.11-2.5 php-4.3.11-2.5 php-ldap-4.3.11-2.5 php-pear-4.3.11-2.5 I would suspect you are mixing repositories and that is why you have the impossible combinations presented. Nuke yum and the cache, clean out /etc/yum.repos.d and /etc/yum.conf and reinstall yum afresh. Is that a pure FC3 system or was it a FC1 machine before? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Core - The power of Open Source Now!
