PHP5.x from source on OS X Panther - libxml problem

[wlee]

I'm trying to install PHP5.x from source on OS X Panther. However, when I sudo make, it seems that the installation is having trouble finding a file called xmlsave.h that is supposed to be part of libxml.

Googling, I've found that the default libxml2 that ships with Panther is missing this file (and a few others) for some reason. So I went ahead and downloaded/installed the latest version of libxml2, which definitely does have all the required files.

libxml2 is installed in /usr/local/libxml2

I configured PHP, using --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local

However, it's still unable to find the libxml2 files.

Any pointers on what I should try?

Try --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/libxml2

Yep, tried that too (actually did that first, but changed to /usr/local on a suggestion).

I also tried deleting config.cache after reading that sometimes the cache wouldn't update. Still a no-go. 🙁
