What is missing?

urpmf tells me:

 

[tyme@tymecc tyme]$ urpmf xml.so

php-xml:/usr/lib/php/extensions/xml.so

[tyme@tymecc tyme]$ urpmf xmlrpc.so

php-xmlrpc:/usr/lib/php/extensions/xmlrpc.so

 

so it looks like install php-xml and php-xmlrpc would fix the missing dependencies.

 

note: i snipped out all the other stuff that urpmf gave, as it didn't have the exact file you were looking for.

These packes were already installed:

php-xml

php-xmlrpc

 

But this fixed it:

cd /etc

mv php.ini.rpmnew php.ini

 

I think php-cli (needed by pear?) installed its own 'php.ini' file.

[tyme]

quite possibly. it seems that when new packages are installed, urpmi/rpmdrake/whatever tool you use doesn't like to overwrite .ini files (most of the time). which makes sense, safety and all that.

unless you spcify the flag "--replacefiles" on rpm. Anyway is always better not to overwrite the config files by default because usually people don't like loosing their own work on each upgrade.
