install failure libphp5.so with php 5.0.4 and apache 2.0.54

[blue_presley]

i'm installing from source apache 2.0.54 and php 5.0.4. php is being installed as a module. i am using suse linux 9.3. i've successfully installed apache with so enabled (--enable-so). now i'mhaving problems getting PHP to configure, make, and make install correctly. durin the configure process i kept getting 'xml2-config' not found, even though libxml2 was installed. i installed libxml2-devel and this seemed to solf this problem. i configured php as such: /configure --with-apxs2=/patch/to/apache2/apxs --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql/ this configures, but i get warnings halfway through stating "Warning: inter-library dependencies are not known to be supported ... libtool could not satisfy all declared inter-library dep. of module libphp5. using a static module instead"

ok, so, i get that warning, but it makes. then i run make install and get the following:

===================
[root@arrow php-5.0.2]# make install

.

make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1

so, i cannot get it to install correctly as you can see, and i'm at a loss. it refuses to create the libphp5.so module. any thoughts? anyone whose had this problem and gotten past it?

thx

lemme see you ./configure line

mine looks something like this
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so --enable-mods-shared=most

Also, if you install like this, you need to do a search for the libphp5.so module, and you need to make sure that the php5 module is in the /usr/local/apache/modules directory.

but then you need to change the ownerships to this libphp5 module.

lemme know if you still need help. i have been working on getting mysql, php, and apache to work on linux (fc4) for a few days now, with about 10 rebuilds. once i get done, i am going to post my documentation (instructions) online, because all of the instructions i find are ambiguous, and none have worked right.

post what you have and if you are still having trouble.
