libphp5.so is not generated by PHP
 

When I attempt to install PHP (5.2.0, 5.1.6, even 5.1.5), the configure and compile goes as expected, but the libphp5.so module is never created.

Apache-2.0.59 is installed and running correctly; I am unable to install Apache 2.2.3/4.

Apache was configured and compiled correctly with loadable module support (--enable-so). PHP was configured and compiled (--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2.0.59/bin/apxs), yet the libphp5.so module is never created.

I've searched extensively attempting to find a solution for this problem, but as of yet I have remained unsuccessful; PHP simply will not create this module.

The system in question is a dual IA64 machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, if that helps, as several of the proposed solutions involved making sure libtool knew about /usr/lib64 in addition to /usr/lib, though that didn't solve my problem either.

Here's to hoping some of you have encountered this problem and successfully overcome it.

May be you should ask this question on PHP mailing lists:

I had this prob before, so what I did was just installing php from tarball again.

And reconfigure, and make, make install.
