PHP 4.0 Bug #7104: everything seems to compile ok, but httpd won't start

From: jordan@waypt.com Operating system: linux 2.2 glibc PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: everything seems to compile ok, but httpd won't start ./configure --with-imap --with-ldap --with-mysql=/usr/ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-gd=/usr/ Only reason I use '--with-gd..." is because for some reason all of the php 4.. configurations need gd*.* something rather.. anyways.. with that configuration line, everything appears to build ok, but when I try to load up httpd, it doesn't start up.. subsys is dead.. when I remove the module 'libphp4.so' and 'mod_php4.c', httpd restards just fine. It's either "A", libphp4 build, or "B" apache's inability to load php modules.. I would like to know. The same build works fine on two other machines with redhat 6.2.. only having a problem with a pIII 600 MHz machine and this distribution version... I've looked at every faq listed, for apache and php.. still no fixes.. Please .. I need instructions of what to check.. networking is healthy.. name/host lookups are fine.. any ideas? thanks.. feedback to jordan@waypt.com -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7104&edit=1
