The apxs part is needed if you wish to compile PHP as a DSO for Apache. I have compiled PHP 5 on Fedora Core 2 using the previous configure options and not had the error you get, but then it is httpd 2.0.49. I can only assume that there is a good reason for this, which is probably in the documentation. It looks like you will either need to upgrade Apache httpd or investigate whether you can use it with PHP statically linked (for which you will need to recompile httpd). HTH Chris
