Finally got my powerbook re-setup using the latest and greatest from PHP, Apache, and libcurl. (of course all of the other goodness as well)

Here is the order:

1. Curl. If you need a new version of curl and libcurl installed: go here http://curl.haxx.se.
   You will need to compile from source. Important note here: Make sure that you dont have another version of curl that can be read from the $PATH. (This becomes important when compiling PHP in a few minutes)
2. Apache. Download the source from httpd-2.2.3.tar.gz
   Now follow these steps:
   1. ./configure --enable-mods-shared=all
   2. sudo make
   3. sudo make install

   It is good to note that since I didn’t specify a prefix (such as –prefix=/usr/bin/) that the configuration script will choose the default install location (/usr/local/apache2)

3. PHP. Now it is time to compile PHP. Download the source from here (From the us2.php.net mirror off of sourceforge).
   Now follow these steps:
   1. 
./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php
--with-zlib
--with-dom=/sw/
--with-libxml-dir=/sw/
--with-xsl=/sw/
--with-jpeg-dir=/sw/
--with-png-dir=/sw/
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
--with-gd
--with-curl

   2. sudo make
   3. sudo make install

   It is good to note here, that I had installed a version of curl on my machine and made sure that when I accessed the $PATH, that I was addressing the correct version.

I have done this all before, but each time I do it, I learn something new. Hope this can help someone out there who is banging their head.

Happy compiling!
