The PHP installer is a savage beast. When it works, it works. When it
doesn't, it can be very hard to figure out what went wrong. If I was in a
position and had the expertise to do so, I would love to add some robustness to
the installer so that maybe once in a while it would tell you why it didn't
work.

P.S. Did you know that PHP 5.1.6 is out and ready for you to install?
(www.php.net) ;-)
