Error: Restarting Apache w/ PHP as DSO on redhat 7.2

Heres what I have: Clean install of redhat 7.2, server option chosen, default packages installed - no extra servers or subcategories. I have installed the following with no problems through configure, make or make install: - MySQL 3.23.45 from binaries at mysql.com (redhat gcc error, or so it says) - Apache 1.3.22 from source (configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so) - PHP 4.0.6 from source (configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs) I did have to change the first line in the apxs file from '#!/usr/bin/perl' > '#!/usr/bin/perl5.6.0'. This was done prior to configure, etc... [known issue from another server running some perl apps} Each package was tested after install for success. MySQL and Apache work(ed) fine. After installing PHP as a DSO, I cannot start apache and receive the following error: "Syntax error on line 205 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: uncompress ./apachectl start: httpd could not be started" Line 205 of httpd.conf looks like: LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so (looks good to me, but what do I know?) Checked Apache's error log and nothing is being recorded (assuming because httpd cannot even start?) I also attempted to reinstall both Apache and PHP by ./configure, make clean, make, make install with no luck -- same error. I've noticed this on a few other posts in the archives but was not abale to find any resolutions. Anyone have any ideas? {I really do not want to install from RPMs] much appreciated, clacy@bignet.net
