Installing XML extension for PHP 5.2.5

I'm working with a program that requires the XML extension is installed with
PHP. I tried looking through the source code for the settings to add to my
configuration but I wasn't seeing anything obvious.

I tried adding "--enable-simplexml" but wasn't sure if I needed to enable any
other options to get that to work?

Thanks

You need the libxml installed with headers if you want to compile simplexml.

Thank you. Saves a lot of time knowing that ahead of time.

I was able to get simplexml installed, but I'm still getting an "xml extension
must be loaded" error message.

I tried viewing "get_loaded_extensions" and I was seeing "SimpleXML" but I think
I need to get "xml". What do I need to configure to get that? I couldn't find
anything obvious in the php 5.2.6 source code

Sorry I think I found it. I'll try "--enable-xml"

Lost my mind temporarily

If you want to make things simpler, I would suggest you use a mete
distribution like Gentoo or SourceMage, these allow you to select which
features to include in a quite simple way, and they will load all the
needed dependencies.
