can't get 5.0.4 to work

[spam]

Sorry, this is going to be a silly question, but I've been fighting it
since Saturday...

I'm installing on an iBook, so Mac OS-X. I get this.. 'PHP Version
4.3.11' when running phpinfo(). I download the source for 5.0.4,
configure it ..

../configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql

I then make && make install, and the installation finishes successfully.
Following the instructions in the INSTALL file, I then edit my
httpd.conf file, as follows ..

LoadModule php5_module libexec/httpd/libphp5.so
AddModule mod_php5.c

(the first line is after I altered it, as there's no *.o file in
libexec)

I try to start apache ..

/usr/sbin/apachectl start
Syntax error on line 240 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/libexec/httpd/libphp5.so into server: (reason unknown)
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

A find reveals that this file doesn't exist anywhere on the machine..

Help! :-(

--with-apxs=<path to apxs>

might help. On my Solaris box, the problem later is caused by
missing .libs directory (libtool broken? -- the directory should be
'lib'). I also need to copy the php cli binary by hand (only the
wrapper scripts are installed by 'make install'. This has been
happening since about 4.3.9 or something.

It was an 'RTFM' moment, I'm afraid.. if I'd scrolled further down the
INSTALL file, I'd have seen the Mac-OSX section. Mea culpa...

Still, it's a wonderful moment when you first create a table from within
a script, rather than having to type it out by hand. Much like losing
one's virginity, or passing one's driving test...

Thanks for the advice.
