Sounds like php has a problem trying to install the php module into the apache modules directory, which it will do by default.
Did you compile/install Apache as root user? Are you compiling php5 as root user? Did you do a 'make clean' after installing apache 2? I don't think you need to unless you want to recompile Apache again. Is the apache modules directory writable by php5? try #: /usr/local/ chmod -R 777 apache2 and then do make install in the php5 source directory. You will need to reset the apache2 permissions again.
