'./configure' '--with-mysql=/home/mysql' '--with-apxs2'
And it consistently adds the following line to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf:
AddModule mod_php5.c
That's appropriate for Apache 1.x, but all Apache2 wants to see is
LoadModule php5_module lib/libphp5.so
So, when I restart the server, it fails. I comment out the offending line, and all is well.
Had the same problem with 5.0.
