I believe you need the httpd-devel rpm to get apxs2.
kgt
Interesting. Would the current ver of php run if I didn't have
httpd-devel installed? What exactly does the switch
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs do?
If I'm not mistaken (and I very easily could be), apxs is used to
create the php module for apache. Red Hat/Fedora provide a mod_php rpm,
and your older version may have had that rpm installed; thus, apxs (and
the httpd-devel rpm) was not needed on your system to build the module.
