PHP BC Math FAIL on Centos 5.1 install

[EricTK]

I am installing Zabbix on CentOS 5.1 - following the CentOS installation instructions on Wiki. I am now configuring the frontend and getting a FAIL for BCMath support. I see "BCMATH" listed in the PHP.ini file - I am using PHP 5.1.6 (cli).

Do I need to do anything else or re-install? I have restarted httpd, zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd.

Specific instructions please.

I am fairly new to all this and looking for a monitoring solution to propose to the owner of an IT company to monitor his customers systems. All assistance is greatly appreciated.

For a start you might be better off updating to Centos 5.3 either by a clean install or by type yum update

Once thats done try yum install php php-bcmath and then try running configure again.
