I've managed to compile Apache2 onto my Linux box (Mandrake Linux 9).
To give you an idea of where I'm up to, this is the very first time I
have compiled any software from source code. My machine was already
running Apache1.3, so I stopped this first, then after compiling
Apache2, I reconfigured it to listen to port 8080, rather than 80. On
re-starting both servers - success - they both work.

Then I tried configuring the existing php4.2 to work with Apache2.
Disaster. I've done this many times on Windows, but I can't get it
right on Linux. The terminal gives me this message when I try to start
or stop Apache2

Syntax error on line 233 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/libexec/libphp4.so
into server: /usr/local/apache2/libexec/libphp4.so:
undefined symbol: ap_block_alarms

Line 233 is one that I've put in. It says:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I searched for libphp4.so. I found it, and copied it into a new
directory called libexec, which I made a subdirectory of Apache2.

Now where have I gone wrong?

All help will be gratefully received. I've found half a dozen places
on the Internet where other people have asked this question, but in
not a single case has anyone suggested an answer.
