[install-sapi] Error 1

[anorakgirl]

hi,
i've been trying to recompile php on a redhat linux box so that i can add an additional option (-with-mnogosearch).
./configure works fine
make works fine
but make install gives the following error:
make[1]: Entering directory /usr/local/src/php-4.2.1'
make[1]: *** [install-sapi] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory/usr/local/src/php-4.2.1'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

i've tried going back to how php was compiled originally using the config.status file, which was
./configure -with-apxs -with-pgsql
which i am assured worked fine originally
and i've also tried
./configure -with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql -with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
but i get the same error.
i'm not sure what it means and there is no additional info about what is causing the error. anyone had this? i've searched for the error on the web, but in most cases there is more info before the error which gives a bit of a clue as to how to fix it.
thanks for any suggestions.

I got this same error when installing a build of 4.2.2. If that's the same version you're dealing with maybe this will help... set this environment variable before configuring:

export CFLAGS=-DEAPI;
./configure etc etc

Also, remember to 'make clean' before you re-compile each time. good luck

It's a long shot, but you could try 'make clean' before you do ./configure

What version of Apache are you trying to compile with? Does PHP compile if you make it in CGI/Standalone mode?
