Got it!

I re-compiled everything and even did a make clean before configure
however I think I found a possible bug during re-installation...

/usr/local/lib/php existed (I guess from my previous php5
installation) and there must have been some reference to it in my /usr/
local/lib/php.ini

I removed all php references from under /usr/locallib and re-compiled
again from scratch and found that my phpinfo() worked...

I make note here in case someone else might find the same problem some
other time in the future... and need a solution...

cheers
