Upgrade PHP 5.3 RC1?

[kwutzke]

As I wrote, I'm trying to compile PHP 5.3.0RC1 on Debian Etch...

Does anyone know which packages to use with the ./configure script? I found

http://phpmelb.org/index.php?option=com_...icle&id=69

thus far, but it's over a year old and it doesn't explain the packages. Which ones are best practices?

Can I somehow find out which standard packages are in the PHP 5.3 Windows binaries or in the PHP 5.2.x installation currently on my Linux (Debian Etch) vServer?

Another thing I found out with the PHP 5.3.0RC1 release is that the two php.ini* files shipped have a missing semicolon on line 581 that prevents PHP from being configurable:
