Of course, this also typically involves a bucket full of dependencies that need to be installed before configure is successful, but I feel better about it anyway. Then, of course, it's best to create a "dummy package" for your servers' package manager so that it doesnt try to download it for any packages that might require that. For rpm: create a file named /usr/src/packages/SPECS/php-dummy.spec and fill it with: Name: php Version: 5.2.5 Release: 0 License: GPL Group: System Requires: requirements Provides: php Buildarch: noarch Summary: A virtual package to fulfil dependencies %description This package is just a dummy package to satisfy RPM dependencies that actually are fulfilled. %files then build the dummy package with: rpm -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/php-dummy.spec this results in a package at /usr/src/packages/RPMS/noarch/php-dummy-5.2.5-0.noarch.rpm I always compile my own PHP, its really the optimal way to do it, because you can specify exactly what you need it to do.

Then, of course, it’s best to create a “dummy package” for your servers’ package manager so that it doesnt try to download it for any packages that might require that.

For rpm: create a file named /usr/src/packages/SPECS/php-dummy.spec

and fill it with:
Name: php
Version: 5.2.5
Release: 0
License: GPL
Group: System
Requires: requirements
Provides: php
Buildarch: noarch
Summary: A virtual package to fulfil dependencies
%description
This package is just a dummy package to satisfy RPM dependencies that actually
are fulfilled.
%files

then build the dummy package with:
rpm -ba
/usr/src/packages/SPECS/php-dummy.spec

this results in a package at
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/noarch/php-dummy-5.2.5-0.noarch.rpm
