What repositories did you use?
I don't recall CentOS 4.5 including PHP5. Is this a third-party package?
If so: stick with the official PHP4 packages, or complain to whoever
packaged those PHP5 packages.

If those are the official packages, could you please give a bug number
in bugzilla.redhat.com or in CentOS's bug tracker?

What version of Asterisk? What bug number in bugs.digium.com ?

Debian has long ago included Asterisk on x86_64 and other platforms. And
it works, as one of the packagers actually has had a x86_64 for quite
some time.

By now there are quite a few x86_64 Asterisk users that complain if
something breaks.
