[cobalt-developers] [HELP]PHP3 and MySQL on RaQ2 install error

I recently attempted installing PHP3 and MySQL rpms from the
ftp.cobalt.com/pub/expermental/RPMS/mips
I don't really work with php/MySQL on linux so its the first go on a RaQ

The idea was just to play on this old mips box (running the latest patches
security 4.0)

I found some rpms, althought they are alittle old.

The inital MySQL failed

installed with
 rpm -ihv [FILENAME]
MySQL-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm goes on OK
MySQL-client-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm
But i get
failed dependencies:
        libncurses.so.3.0 is needed by MySQL-client-3.22.21-2C1

according to previous posts, its due to the ncurse issue that had a security
flaw and therefore has since been replaced with a no backward compatible
library.  So I can't get this build to install
MySQL-devel-3.22.21-2C1.mips.rpm requires the above client rpm


So I shutdown MySQL But it didn't want to uninstall (-e) with rpm (?)
So skipped the MySQL install for now and tried php3 which appeared to go on
fine
installed with
 rpm -ihv [FILENAME]
mod_php3-3.0.7-1C2.mips.rpm
mod_php3-doc-3.0.7-1C2.mips.rpm

it automatically stop/restarted httpd ok

but when i try a test script

[root web]# more test.php3
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<? php phpinfo() ?>
</body>
</html>

or just <? php phpinfo() ?>

I get:

Parse error: parse error in /home/sites/site1/web/test.php3 on line 5 (or
line 1)


Anyone get any quick ideas on how to set up
A. php3 (or php4 on a MIPS I don't fancy a source compile!)
B. MySQL (again MIPS based RPM that will work!

Thanks inadvance
