php has a varying number of dependencies, from a few to a lot, based on 
what you specify in your ./configure options. When ./configure stops and 
complains, it usually means you are missing a dependency. On Fedora Core 
3, you need a lot of 'devel' libraries to compile php from the 
Fedora-packaged source successfully. You can quickly check whether you 
have a package installed by following what Paul suggests above, or 
search the rpm database with rpm -qa. For example:

[rlc at bobcp4 ~]$ rpm -qa | egrep curl
curl-7.12.1-1
curl-devel-7.12.1-1
