Installing --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs fails

apxs exists, however it looks like it is being called with incorrect parameters: 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 abs olute path of apxs by using --with-apxs=/absolute/path/to/apxs My installed apache version is: Server version: Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) Server built: Dec 20 2000 11:10:48 I am attempting to install PHP Version: php-4.0.3pl1 thank you in advance for any help!
