Php 5.3 problems

I have stucked with Php 5.3 and Mysql 5.5 packages installed from Remi repo to Centos 5.7 server. So I removed them and decided to use distro's old packages.

Now it seems to work fine. I tr to satisfy Yii's requirements. Although the requirement checker says it is installable to my system, I try to provide more requirements for Yii

namely, APC,Dom,pdo_mysql etc. As you guess when installing packages (pdo_mysql,APC etc)  with pecl some problems happen. One of them happens when installing APC, the error

"make: *** [apc.lo] Error 1". The solution is to install pcre-devel package. I dont think APC is a good optimize, lets use it for the Yii's sake.
