I'd recommend the latest of each, postgresql 7.3.2, php 4.3.whatever, and apache 1.3.27. 2: Just use the --with-pgsql switch alone, and see if the php ./configure script can find it. the only thing I've ever needed to make things work on Linux was to edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file and add a line for /usr/local/pgsql/lib and run ldconfig. Other than that, the configure script has always just found postgresql for me.
