Nah, you want binaries mate.
(Voice of experience; after co-sysadminning a RH box with someone who'd just discovered the "joys" of compiling from source. That box is now un-upgradeable without breaking it massively.)

Last I looked, there *were* no binaries for PHP 4.3.2 - especially with all the plugins I need.

Yes, very clever. Now check the PHP version number, and apply the fact this isn't a debian box.
Oops, sorry. I'm sure you're sensible enough to only compile the stuff you absolutely have to. Just that my co-worker wasn't.
Yuh well, I hadn't mentioned which version I needed when you posted that - rpms and debs do have their uses (apt-get's invaluable for anything that doesn't need to be bleeding-edge), but every so often you still need to grab the server by the tarballs...
Also, I find that it's occasionally useful to do manual installs to fully appreciate what you're installing - much of this server software is stuff I'm really trying to get my head 'round.
