compiling php with dom and qtdom support

Hi i am running redhat 7.0 with apache 1.3.19 (installed from source into /etc/httpd) and i am trying to install php4.0.4pl1. I am enabling mysql support for mysql (mysql-3.23.24 from rpm) I installed the following rpms before i started libxml-1.7.3 libxml-devel-1.7.3 libxml2-devel-2.3.5 libxml2-2.3.5 i then cd'd to the php directory and did "./configure" \ "--prefix=/etc/httpd" \ "--enable-trans-sid" \ "--with-mysql" \ "--with-magic-quotes" \ "--with-apxs" \ "--with-dom=/usr/lib" \ "--with-qtdom=/usr/lib" \ (this is config.nice) which didnt return any (obvious) errors - the same command above piped to grep -i xml returns this checking for libxml version... >= 2.2.7 checking for libz needed by libxml ... already zlib support checking for XML support... yes creating ext/domxml/Makefile creating ext/xml/Makefile creating ext/xml/expat/Makefile creating ext/xml/expat/xmlparse/Makefile creating ext/xml/expat/xmltok/Makefile and the same with grep -i dom returns this checking for yp_get_default_domain... no checking for random... yes checking for srandom... yes checking for DOM support... yes checking for DOM in default path... found in /usr checking whether to include QDOM support... checking for readline support... no creating ext/domxml/Makefile everything seems ok (is the qdom the same as qtdom?) ?!?! (yes i am deleting config.cache) i then do make and make install which again produces no errors. I then do a config test on the new apache which returns the following error... Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: undefined symbol: xmlDocSetRootElement i noticed from the CVS that this function was uncommented - in the last release - is there an error in it??? i dont know any c++ so im stuck here Please help me before i lose it totally :-)
