"X*X*/libz.so: shared object not open" error still

Hello again. It seems that no-one has run into this problem directly. So, if anyone has any suggestion what direction to start looking I'd appreciate it. I'm pondering if I need to pull out the zlib rpm and compile that from source as well, but I'm afraid then I'll simply break libtiff, gd, ImageMagick, etc... All the RPM's that depend on zlib. The problem again, came after I pulled out the apache and php rpms and tried to compile from source. When I run "apachectl start" I get this: Syntax error on line 236 of /usr/local/apache/etc/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: X*X*/libz.so: shared object not open Line 236 of httpd.conf is this:

LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so

libz.so is in /usr/lib command I used to configure apache 1.3.22: ./configure \

        --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
        --with-layout=GNU \
        --enable-module=most \
        --enable-shared=max \
        --with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl \
        --with-port=80 \
        --logfiledir=/var/log/httpd

command I used to configure pdflib 4.0.1: ./configure \

        --enable-shared \
        --enable-static \
        --with-java=no \
        --with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl \
        --with-py=/usr/bin/python \
        --with-tcl=/usr/bin/tcl \
        --enable-php

command I used to configure php 4.0.6: ./configure \

        --with-xml \
        --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/sbin/apxs \
        --with-openssl \
        --enable-trans-sid \
        --with-zlib=/usr \
        --with-pdflib=/usr/local \
        --enable-shared=pdflib \

        --with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
        --with-png-dir=/usr \

Thanks again for any suggestions. -Steve
