Need assistance installing php-4.0.0

Greetings, I am a new Redhat Linux (7, publisher's edition) user, so please be clear when giving instructions or advice. I am trying to set up an Apache server (ver 1.3.12) with MySQL (3.22.32) and php(4.0.0) support. MySQL and Apache are installed and working, but I am having a lot of trouble getting php to find the files it needs in the mySQL directory. Has anyone had this problem before- and if so, how can I fix it? The debug.log file is attached to this message (I hope- it's my first PINE message with an attachment) The configure command that generated the errors comes directly from a book named PHP fast & easy web development that includes a CD ROM with the software. It was written by Julie C. Meloni. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated- I need to switch over from Microsoft ASP to PHP within the next 24 hours, so time is of the essence! Thank you, Jesse Krenzelok
