LinuxQuestions.org - upgrade expat from version 1.95.6 to latest one

Hello,

I encounter an issue to upgrade (or installing from scratches by first uninstalling version 1.95.6)

I would like to know how to uninstall expat ?

I would like to know what are the eligible steps which need to be taken when I would like to have the lates version of expat inside my server ?

The OS is : Centos 4 32 bit

when I run phpinfo() function from the server then I get the following output:

XML Support = active
XML Namespace Support = active
EXPAT Version = EXPAT Version

Also I have found expat files in the following location:
