I'm trying to install CiviCRM-2.2.2 on a Redhat Server box.  I already have Drupal-6.10 installed and working.

The problem comes when I try to meet the PHP requirements.  I've installed Apache2 and PHP5 from Redhat's RPMs via the 'yum' updater.  The latest version that installs is:

[user@www ~]$ rpm -qa|grep php-5
php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3.x86_64
[user@www ~]$

Obviously this does not meet the PHP-5.2.x requirement.

I've also tried to recompile PHP from source, but it is now wanting to play nice with the installed version of Apache2.

Has anyone been able to successfully install the latest Civi on a Redhat Server box? and if so, how did you overcome the PHP5 requirement?

Thanks!

P.S.  Here is some extra info, if it helps:

[user@www ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)
[user@www ~]$ rpm -qa|grep httpd-2
httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.x86_64
[user@www ~]$

Thank you for the link.  That has made it to where I can now install Civi.  Initial testing of skipping through some of the menus shows it still working.  I suspect, as is stated in the linked post, that since there is no PHP-5.2.x related code that there shouldn't be any problems.  If for some reason I stumble across an issue with it, I'll post it here to the forum.

Thanks!
