Out of curiosity, what has PHP been doing? I always see people specify a full directory, which typically works. As I mentioned in my original post, --with-module and --with-module-dir seem to have some inconsistencies themselves as well. What is the behavior? Going back to 64bit platforms, this is going to be a problem moving forward. AMD64 is all over the place, and thus having lib and lib64 directories. While a SuSE patch works for SuSE, what about other AMD64 distros? What happens on FreeBSD? Can PHP's ./configure be fixed to be flexible, as a ./configure script should be, or will platform specific hacks need to be made (which seems counter-intuitive, since that's what ./configure is for).
