Hello all,

I am working with a fresh install of RHEL5, and I need to install the
php-devel and mysql-devel libraries so I can install PECL::mysql and
PECL::dbx.

yum install php-devel
yields:

Loading "security" plugin
[...snip...]
**** No Match for argument: php-devel **** Nothing to do

*** emphasis *** mine

I've tried various combinations of RPMs and nothing seems to work. Same
with mysql-devel.

A yum search for php* doesn't show anything that resembles php-devel. I
had no problem installing either of these libraries in RHEL4. Where do I
go from here? Any help would be appreciated.

Google is your friend.

PECL is PHP extension community library

You need to download and compile dbx-1.1.0.tgz and mysql-1.0.tgz from PECLhttp://pecl.php.net/packages.php?catpid=7&catname=Database

Exactly. However, I need php-devel and mysql-devel to compile PECL
extensions. In any event, I figure out that the problem was that I was
using an unregistered copy of RHEL5, which didn't afford me access to
RHN. So I properly registered it and now I have a whole new set of
problems. :-)
