Can't get PHP (5.2.6) to compile...

Howdy...

I'll get over my embarrassment, and ask for a hand. :)

I'm installing LS fresh on 3 new boxes, which are identical. For the life of me, I can't get PHP 5.2.6 to compile on two of them. Whether through the web console, or command line, it just won't build.

The first box had a few minor hiccups, but nothing serious, and was up and rolling with a couple yum packages.

The other two, however, appear to be throwing fits with libxml2. Yes, I have both libxml2 and libxml2-devel, and have even removed and reinstalled them a few times.

Any advice? Something I'm missing?

OS: RHEL5 (64-bit)
LS: 3.3.18 (community)

Build output (web console, attached in full)

Configuring extensions

checking libxml2 install dir... no
checking for xml2-config path... /usr/bin/xml2-config
checking whether libxml build works... no

I'm sure it's something silly, but after looking at it for the past 3+ hours, it's probably right in front of my face and I'm just missing it.

Thanks.

You really need to look into the config.log to find out why libxml test failed.

Is that possible that the problem is related to "--enable-simplexml"? Just a wild guess.

Even without simplexml, it fails in the same manner. Including a default configuration install.

Samples from config.log, where xml is mentioned (skipping the line with the initial configure flags):

INCLUDES=' -I/usr/include/libxml2'

LIBS='-lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lxml2 -lz -lm'

configure:27964: checking whether to enable LIBXML support
configure:28002: result: yes

It ended up taking a remove/install of zlib-devel, and the following flags in the web console:

--prefix=/usr/local/lsws/lsphp5 --with-litespeed --with-config-file-path=../php --with-mysql=../mysql --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=.. --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=.. --with-png-dir=.. --enable-shmop --enable-track-vars --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-magic-quotes --enable-simplexml --with-libdir=lib64 --with-mcrypt

Beats me, but it compiled and is working happily on 2 out of 3 web servers.
