Php Installation Woes

[mmcdonnell]

I'm trying to install PHP 5.1.4 on RedHat(e) Enterprise 3
I'm having a very difficult time getting ./configure to work.

Here's what I'm doing so far:

[code]./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --disable-cgi --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/php --enable-force-cgi-redirect --disable-short-tags [b]--with-libxml-dir=/usr[/b] --with-openssl --with-zlib --enable-calendar --with-curl --with-mysql --with-mysqli --enable-soap
[/code]

And this is what I get at the very end:

[code]
Configuring extensions
checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes
checking libxml2 install dir... /usr
checking for xml2-config path... /usr/bin/xml2-config
checking whether libxml build works... no
configure: error: build test failed.  Please check the config.log for details.
[/code]

In config.log I get this:

[code]configure:27282: checking whether to enable LIBXML support
configure:27320: result: yes
configure:27329: checking libxml2 install dir
configure:27347: result: /usr
configure:27359: checking for xml2-config path
configure:27373: result: /usr/bin/xml2-config
configure:27516: checking whether libxml build works
configure:27549: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c

         -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl  -lxml2 -lz -lm >&5

[/code]

not that I mean to be a complete n00b... but I'm really lost, and I don't understand how to fix this error.
Any help you can offer would be fantastic!
Thanks to all for the help if I get it!

Solved!

The problem has to do with the way the LibXML2 RPMs work.... it had to be installed from the tar.gz file to work correctly.
