installation takes longer than expected

Hi every I yesterday constructed the php 4.3.2 rpm package from the source, and that took me much longer than expected. I used the following configure string: ./configure --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-calendar --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap --with-mysql --with-unixODBC=/usr/lib/unixODBC --with-readline nothing particularly exeptional, hough? but when it came to make, the compiler/loader team played two jokes with me first i got into a loop of configure-make-make-install, where the loader at the end complained that he had been unable to find such and such library archive (*.la). after creating about 10 library archives manually and re-initalizing the configure-make-make-install loop every time i got into the second joke: the loader started complaining about missing header libraries (-lpam, -ldes, -lyounameit). i installed the header libraries one by one, each of them took an extra go-through through the conigure-make-make-install loop. finally i made it all the same and now i have the rpm package. you may retrieve it from http://www.ayni.com/archive/ if you like. My question: is there any possibility to get the list of necessary library archives (*.la) and header files (*.h) before you start the configure-make-make-install loop? Any information is much appreciated. Thank you very much. suomi
