MySQL + PHP upgrade procedure in old Linux system

When I try to play wordpress 3.3.1 blog with ckeditor-for-wordpress.3.6.2.5  plugin ,they requirement depends package version as below.

MySQL-5.0.95

PHP-5.2.4

But my Linux version CentOS 3.9 that was too old and cann't on-line insall such as packages. So, I determine to manual prepare/complie the requirement packages.

• First, download the MySQL 5.0.95 package "MySQL-5.0.95-1.glibc23.src.rpm" from internet and execute below command.

$rpmbuild –rebuild MySQL-5.0.95-1.glibc23.src.rpm –target=i686

Before install the new MySQL, pre-remove all installed MySQL version first.

$rpm -ihv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/MySQL-*

$mysql_upgrade

$mysql -u root

mysql>create database wordpress;

mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO "admin"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "password";

• The php-5.2.4 depends libxml2-2.6.30, to download libxml2-2.6.30.tar.gz from internet and execute below command

$rpmbuild -tb libxml2-2.6.30.tar.gz

$rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/RPM/i386/libxml*

• Download php-5.2.4.tar.gz and unpackage it and execute below command.

$./configure '–host=i386-redhat-linux' '–build=i386-redhat-linux' '–target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu' '–program-prefix=' '–prefix=/usr' '–exec-prefix=/usr' '–bindir=/usr/bin' '–sbindir=/usr/sbin' '–sysconfdir=/etc' '–datadir=/usr/share' '–includedir=/usr/include' '–libdir=/usr/lib' '–libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '–localstatedir=/var' '–sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '–mandir=/usr/share/man' '–infodir=/usr/share/info' '–cache-file=../config.cache' '–with-config-file-path=/etc' '–with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' '–enable-force-cgi-redirect' '–disable-debug' '–disable-rpath' '–enable-inline-optimization' '–with-bz2' '–with-db4=/usr' '–with-curl' '–with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '–with-freetype-dir=/usr'  '–with-gd' '–enable-gd-native-ttf' '–with-ttf' '–with-gettext' '–with-ncurses' '–with-gmp' '–with-iconv' '–with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '–with-openssl' '–with-pspell' '–with-regex=system' '–with-zlib' '–with-layout=GNU' '–enable-bcmath' '–enable-exif' '–enable-ftp' '–enable-magic-quotes' '–enable-safe-mode' '–enable-sockets' '–enable-sysvsem' '–enable-sysvshm' '–enable-discard-path' '–enable-wddx' '–enable-mbregex' '–with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos' '–with-mysql' '–with-unixODBC=shared,/usr' '–enable-shmop' '–enable-calendar' '–with-apxs2filter=/usr/sbin/apxs' '–with-pcre-regex' '–with-pear'
