Help w/ PHP2 install

Hello, I posted a message a few days back about a compile error I was getting on a Apache install w/ PHP2, PHP4, msql, mysql, and ssl. I haven't had any response, so I decided to try and simplify and isolate the problem by eliminating PHP4, mysql, and ssl. Basically, I've prepped PHP2 as an Apache module with msql support (msql is already installed on my system), and now I'm just trying to compile PHP2 into Apache, via the following commands: [root@machine apache_1.3.14]# ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/extra/libphp.a --enable-module=php --prefix=/usr/local/apache ... configuration output... blah blah blah ... [root@machine apache_1.3.14]# make it goes through several directories compiling successfully, then I get the following error: gcc  -DLINUX=2 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED ./apaci    \      -o httpd buildmark.o modules.o modules/standard/libstandard.a modules/extra/libextra.a main/libmain.a ./os/unix/libos.a ap/lib ap.a regex/libregex.a lib/expat-lite/libexpat.a  -lm -lcrypt modules/extra/libextra.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [target_static] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/source/apache_1.3.14/src' make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/source/apache_1.3.14' make: *** [build] Error 2 [root@machine apache_1.3.14]# I've searched the web and found references to this error (modules/extra/libextra.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one)... but no solution.  Any assistance would be appreciated, and yes, I have tried the obvious: ranlib /path/to/modules/extra/libextra.a libextra.a is an archive which contains libphp.a (which was created by the PHP2 module compile), so I suppose it's possible that the error is actually in libphp.a. libextra.a is created by the command "ar cr libextra.a libphp.a" in the apache compile. I ran ar --help and found that the s option creates an index, so I tried ar crs libextra.a libphp.a, but still met with the same error when I tried running make again. FWIW, I have ranlib version "GNU ranlib 2.9.5", and I'm running under Yellow Dog Linux (supported on iMac hardware, which is unfortunately the only box I can use right now) D
