I have a RHEL 5.5 host with PHP 5.1.6, and the php-pecl-zip package installed (using yum). I have another host with CentOS 5.8 and PHP 5.1.6, and I want to have the same php-pecl-zip package installed. When I search for php-pecl-zip with yum on the CentOS 5.8 host, no results are found. What's the safest way to get this package installed? I'm a novice at package management.

Have you tried the EPEL packages? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-fedora-centos-linux-enable-epel-repo/ – Eric Jun 29 '12 at 21:53

Just type "pecl install zip". You will need pecl, gcc etc installed. And I dont know the EPEL package, maybe is OK, maybe not.
