I'm having trouble getting rid of my depsolving errors, and I've been left to figure this one out on my own. It all started when I wanted to upgrade from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3 (heaven forbid), and I was told that we have all kinds of dependency mess because we have multiple PHP packages, and no one else is using it, so if I wanted it, I'd have to do it myself.
I managed to figure out how to get PHP 5.3 installed, but only by removing all previous versions of PHP and doing a fresh install. Now "my" (someone departed's) code is relying on PHPExcel, which relies on php-pecl-zip, which I apparently don't have. Here's some of what I've tried:
Install with PECL
# pecl install zip
No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/zip"
install failed
Pretty sure this is because our machines have very strict rules about who they can talk to. So I can't access the package via PECL.
Install with YUM
# yum install php-pecl-zip

Installing for dependencies:

Why does it want a PHP version 5.1 when I have 5.3?
Of course, if I let it go, it barfs:
Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/php.ini from install of php-common-5.1.6-24.el5_4.5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package php-5.3.24-7.x86_64
And just to verify:
# yum list php

php.x86_64 5.3.24-7 installed
Can we get around it? A few attempts follow
# yum install php-pecl-zip --skip-broken

Skip broken does nothing
# yum install php-pecl-zip --skip-broken --exclude=php-common

Excluding the package doesn't help

Can we install an underlying dependency?

This is where the dependency loop starts. You'll notice we have COMPANY-codex-released repos that are in play.

No.
So I think YUM is in a dependency loop.
I also did some silly stuff installing a new EPEL repo, but then yum couldn't resolve any mirrors, so I had to uninstall it. I'm not sure those were symmetric actions, either.
The first time I did this I also had to do yum install autoconf
Install downloaded file with PEAR
So I went to http://pecl.php.net/package/zip and got a download, scp'd it up to my machine.
# pear install -O /home/produser/zip-1.12.4.tgz

So those first couple of warnings are actually new. Never seen them before just now. Maybe that's a new lead.
(EDIT: I think this startup error is because I went into /etc/php.ini and uncommented extension=php_zip.dll. When I comment that line back out, it goes away.)
But zlib is there:

So even though the package manager says that's the location of zlib, and I've started compiling the thing by hand, it still doesn't work.
Reinstall zlib? Seems to execute fine

Thanks to these guys: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=692704 I realized I needed to install zlib-devel instead. And just for good measure, to remove one of my warnings, I also did re2c.

Now these guys (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/install-zip-extension-using-pear-840755/) say
# yum install pcre-devel
which doesn't quite work for me, but
# yum install COMPANY-pcre-devel
works fine
# pear install zip-1.12.4.tgz
same make error.
