[SOLVED] CentOS: php-devel-5.1.6-32.el5.x86_64 from base has depsolving problems

lrtward · 03-13-2012, 09:20 AM

I need to install php-devel and php-pear on my server. When I run "yum install php-devel" I get the following:

Quote:

# yum install php-devel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

Error: Missing Dependency: php = 5.1.6-32.el5 is needed by package php-devel-5.1.6-32.el5.x86_64 (base)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

So I followed the suggestions:

Quote:

# package-cleanup --problems
Setting up yum
Reading local RPM database
Processing all local requires
No problems found
# package-cleanup --dupes
Setting up yum
# rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
#

I still get the same results when trying to yum install php-devel.

I'm pretty sure my problem is that I'm running a newer version of php than the 5.1.6 that yum install is expecting:

Quote:

# rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" php\*
php-pdo-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64
php-mbstring-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64
php-mysql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64
php-common-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64
php-ldap-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64
php-mcrypt-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.3.x86_64
php-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64
php-gd-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64
php-cli-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64
php-xml-5.2.10-1.el5.centos.x86_64

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to install php-devel 5.2.10-1 and just skip 5.1.6

php 5.2 isn't available officially on centos yet, that appears to just be a bunch of test rpms you installed, so you either need to downgrade those packages to the official 5.1.6 versions available in yum, or manually install the devel package, which appears to be http://www.iredmail.org/yum/rpms/5/ <---- there. OR maybe look at using php53 which IS in centos 5.8

Hi,

I installed from Webtatic repo vers. 5.2.17 (how to on bottom of page)

lrtward · 03-13-2012, 10:25 AM

Yes, those are "test" versions; phpMyAdmin requires php 5.2 so I upgraded to 5.2 via the c5-testing repo described in lots of posts on upgrading php to 5.2 on CentOS.

But now I need php-devel and I'm stuck.
Even "yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-testing install php-devel" gives me the error.

I'll take a look at the two suggestions you guys posted; thanks bunches for taking time to reply to me.

Manually installing the rpm worked like a charm.
Thanks tons for that; I couldn't find that version anywhere.

Hi Irtward,

I face the exact problem that you have. Can you share how you manually install the rpm. Many many thanks!!

Steve

You'd just run "rpm -Uvh name.of.rpm"

Thanks Chris, I will sure try this... Have a nice day!
