Problem compiling php 4.1.1

[Anon]

Good Morning.
I'm trying to compile PHP 4.1.1 on Mandrake 8 using apxs.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-config-file-path=/usr/ local/php --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-track-vars --enable-magic-quotes --enable-debugger --with-zlib=/usr/lib/zlib/ --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable -ftp --enable-trans-sid --with-dom --enable-wddx --with-xmlrpc
The first time the ./configure script told me to fix apxs, broken for some distro, i fixed it following the instruction on http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.build.php about apxs but noway! It doesn't compile! :-)

... make ...
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: [libphp4.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/lamp/php-4.1.1'
make: [all-recursive] Error 1

Ok, can you help me? Should i forget to use apxs?
Thank you all

Don't know how, don't know why but i (me?! :-) solved the problem .. in this way
rm config.cache
make clean
re./configure
re./make
and i got php working.

Can you give me a clue?! Sounds weird

Did you do a "make clean" the first time you recompiled? If not it could be "left overs" in memory :-)
