how do you install php-devel

  • 772

I keep getting dependency issues when I try to run yum install php-devel

yum install --skip-broken php-devel

....

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:

    imake-1.0.2-3.i386 from base

    php-cli-5.1.6-32.el5.i386 from base
    php-devel-5.1.6-32.el5.i386 from base

Any ideas?

  1. why don't you want to install the dependancies? yum shows you what dependancies you need for the installation. otherwise you might as well just use a .rpm if you just want this one package.

  2. as per error message - you are missing php-common package to satisfy yum installer. You might want to try to clean your cache (yum clean all) and re-run yum install php-devel command.

    Perhaps repo which provides php-common is disabled? (yum repolist all)?

    Update

    Also make sure that you are installing for the right arch... uname -r. To force package installation for specific arch you can: yum install php-devel.x86_64
