First, thanks for taking the time to read this message.

I am trying to build a LAMP stack for the first time, and have
encountered the following problem:

CentOS 4.3
mysql 4.1.20
apache 2.2.3
php 5.1.6

I've compiled and installed apache as follows:

==apache===

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-module=so

make

make install

=====

That appears to work perfectly. The problem comes when I try and
compile and install PHP.

==php==

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php
--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config
--with-apx2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

make

make install

====

According to my reading, a "libphp5.so" is supposed to be generated
during this process, but there is no such file on the system after the
fact, which is certainly a problem.

Can anybody perhaps provide guidance as to why this file would NOT be
generated?

Please let me know if I can provide further details to help track down
the problem.

Thanks,
Eric
