egroupware install fails

In trying to install egroupware /eGroupware-1.8.002.20111111 the download completes then:

.. download complete.

Installing PHP Pear module Auth_SASL ..

.. failed to install!

This is a Centos 5.7 box so I tried:

# yum install php-pear-Auth-SASL

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

so no joy there. I've seen earlier posts on the subject but they don't shed much light for me.

Ideas?

Howdy,

It appears that you're running into a conflict of some sort with the newer PHP 5.3 package in CentOS 5.

What is the output of these two commands:

php -v
rpm -qa | grep php-common

Okay, I think I see what's happening... it looks like eGroupware requires the 'php-pear-Auth-SASL' package -- and php-pear-Auth-SASL requires php-common.

However, it also looks like you're using PHP 5.3.3 -- which won't work with php-common.

So there's an interesting set of dependency issues there that are preventing that from installing. Unfortunately, there are some things that won't work with the php53 packages on CentOS, and it appears that may be one of them :-/
