Hi, I found that my linux (CentOS) server hasn't got any of the php extensions installed but can't seem to find any easy way to do it. Can anybody guide me the easiest way to install the php extensions curl and gd. A google search has showen dozens of lines of commands are required for the complete process and was wondering if there is any easier way to install on CentOS. PHP 5.2.8 is my version and I have ssh access and root file transfer access.
Please reply.
