RH 9: Installing PHP 4.3

Until I can get Fedora 4 to install on my computer, I need to go back to RH 9 which means I need to update Apache and PHP. This is not an area in which I have much knowledge, so bear with me: I downloaded the tarball for Apache 2.0.54 and then configured with ./configure --prefix=/www --enable-module=so followed by the make and make install Next I download Php 4.3.11 and do the configure with ./configure --with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird --with-apxs2=/www/bin/apxs When I run the make, I get ... sapi/apache2handler/php_functions.lo main/internal_functions.lo -lcrypt -lcrypt -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lcrypt -lcrypt -o libphp4.la ext/ctype/ctype.lo: file not recognized: File truncated collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1 If I do not have the "--with-apxs2=/www/bin/apxs", there are no errors, but I do not get the libphp4.so that I need. Help! Todd
