When you turn on an option for the PHP ./configure script to process, you often have to have the underlying support files already installed or ./configure sometimes, but not always, errors out. Worse, the compile will certainly error out if it can't find necessary headers. Consider this option: --with-unixODBC=shared ./configure will not complain at all if you do not have the unixODBC packages installed. But the compile will fail because it can't find needed header files from unixODBC-devel. Keep trying. Check to make sure that you have really satisfied every dependency which you turned on with configure options. You may have to do this several times because the ./configure script is not smart enough to flag ALL the missing dependencies.
