PHP 5 compilation error: libphp5.so is not generated

please, please, please: help!

I started from a clean, new system, with only SSH and Webmin. It's a VPS running on Fedora Core release 2.

1) I added my domain name to the BIND server
2) I downloaded the last stable Apache version, 2.2.3, and installed it
using:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-so --enable-module=rewrite
make
make install

3) I tested it, it worked.
4) I downloaded the last stable PHP version, 5.1.6, and installed it using
the MINIMUM configuration possible (not even MySQL):
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
make
make install

"make install" gave me that error:
==================================

==================================

The problem is that libphp5.so is not generated from "make".

I found those related links:
[fedoraforum.org...]
[bugs.php.net...]

Following the recommendations I tried:
1) using the bz2 version of the PHP distribution and not the gz one
2) I installed getText ( [gnu.org...] ) because some
say an included library, "libintl.so", could help. But I couldn't find that
library after getText was sucessfully compiled.
3) I chomed everything to 777 in the php directory
4) I installed the last stable libtool, 1.5.22

Nothing worked, I still have that libphp5.so error.

Any help would be really appreciated. And I really mean it!

If it can help someone:

I compiled PHP 5.1.5 instead of 5.1.6 and it worked perfectly.

I hope next released versions won't have this problem.

Another quick note:

my line to compile apache was incorrect:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-so --enable-module=rewrite

should be (because it is apache 2.X):

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-so --enable-rewrite

But that doesn't change anything to my message. I was unable to compile PHP 5.1.6. PHP 5.1.5 worked.
