installing pecl_http

Hello,

I want to install pecl_http on a server. this should/could be very easy, just: pecl install pecl_http . However, pecl_http requires a newer version of curl: installed: 7.10.6, required: 7.12.3 or better. Thats fine, just rpm-build sme source package you say. But here comes the tricky part: the rest of the system requires libcurl.so.2 (psa and php 5.0.4 by art) which will be erased when installing curl-7.12.3-2 packages.

So now i'm in a 'catch 22': pecl_http requires a higher version of curl, other packages require the lower version.

System:
Centos3.3
PSa 7.5.4 reloaded
PHP 5.0.4 (art)

Has anyone succesfully installed pecl_http and if so, on what kind of distribution? maybe i need to re-image that server with a more compatible kind of OS. Butr before i go ahead with that i want to make sure if there isn't any other way of getting it installed.

bet regards

Normally when I run into that I make a <whatever>-compat rpm. An example .spec file is here:

I also have a problem related to libcurl after installing ASL, if any of you two know much about libcurl, please see if you can help:
