You mention php 5.3 in the thread title, but you're actually trying to install php-5.2.17.
Anyway somehow the DSO libphp5.so is not created during make. From inside the php sources directory, run a "make distclean" and rerun the ./configure script with your options followed by make
Then run:
Code:
ls -l .libs
ls -l libs
to see if it was created
