when configuring php

command run: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-gettext when it gets to Configuring SAPI module: Configuring SAPI modules checking for AOLserver support... no checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS... Usage: apxs -g [-S <var>=<val>] -n <modname> apxs -q [-S <var>=<val>] <query> ... apxs -c [-S <var>=<val>] [-o <dsofile>] [-D <name>[=<value>]] [-I <incdir>] [-L <libdir>] [-l <libname>] [-Wc,<flags>] [-Wl,<flags>] <files> ... apxs -i [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... apxs -e [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... configure: error: Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Either you need to install Perl or you need to pass the absolute path of apxs by using --with-apxs=/absolute/path/to/apxs I do have perl installed and have tried giving it the path to apxs (which it clearly knows already from the error above).. help?!? -Michael p.s. sorry ahead of time for all my spam to the list.
