problem recompiling PHP4.0.4 --with-dom=/usr/local/lib

Hi, I tried to recompile to build a new Apache dso of php4.0.4 with the following config arguements: bash-2.04# ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with- pgsql --with-dom=/usr/local/lib/ The output from that configure: ... checking for DOM support... yes checking for DOM in default path... not found configure: error: Please reinstall the libxml >= 2.2.7 distribution I am running FreeBSD 4.2, which shows I am running >=2.2.7 libxml2: bash-2.04# pkg_version -vv | grep xml libxml2-2.3.0_1 = up-to-date with port Here is all the libxml stuff in /usr/local/lib: bash-2.04# ls -l /usr/local/lib | grep xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 514328 Mar 12 15:13 libxml2.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Mar 12 15:13 libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 478970 Mar 12 15:13 libxml2.so.5 Why is it not looking in /usr/local/lib for libxml2.so? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Kris
