An additional pre-requisite is that you have the development tools
installed, plus the development packages for all the libraries that your
builds use.

This stage would take slightly less time if you had moved the SRPMs for
sqlite3 and pcre out of the way so that you weren't rebuilding them
again.

These two steps can be combined as one:

[root at fedora3 BUILD]# tar xfz php-5.0.3-2.tar.gz

A nice addition would be to package this extension as an RPM... I
personally don't like having any software installed by non-RPM means.

Very good!

A useful tweak to this procedure would be to build the RPMs as a user
other than root, which is not a good thing to be doing really. Ideally
you should only use root to install the packages, not to build them.
