Help installing PHP4.01pl2 as an Apache DSO under Debian

Hello all, I'm trying to install PHP4.01pl2 as an Apache DSO under Debian 2.1 and am having problems with apache's apxs script. I configure PHP as follows: /configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/ and it dies with this: Configuring SAPI modules checking for AOLserver support ... no checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS... /configure: /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs: Permission denied 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 /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs exists with 755 permissions. Perl 5.004.04-7 is installed. Can any one help me out? Thanks, Chris
