Installation problem: apxs not found

[jon rogers]

Hi

I'm new to PHP. I have a RHLinux 9 box running Apache httpd 2.0.40 and MySQL
Ver 12.18 Distrib 4.0.12.

I downloaded PHP 4.3.4 (tar.gz) [4,522Kb] - 03 November 200 and tried

$ ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs

mod_so.c is present and "compiled-in".

This is what I get:

[root@linux php-4.3.4]# ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs

Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons:

1. Perl is not installed;
2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);
3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
The output of apxs follows
../configure: line 3169: apxs: command not found
configure: error: Aborting


Perl is installed. Neither 'whereis' or 'Find files' reveals any path to
apxs, so I guess I don't have it installed. What should I do to install
PHP?

Thanks for your patience,

JR

../configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs2
