I've compiled php4 and mod_perl following these notes two days ago for the
book:
Are you sure you did follow the steps exactly? ( you have adjust php3 to
php4 for the latest version)/

it's on topic.
Here is a fresh scenario cleaned up for the book, but I think that it's
pretty much the same as in the guide:
=head2 Installing mod_perl with mod_php
The following is a simple installation scenario of a combination
mod_perl and mod_php build for the Apache server. Since we aren't
going to configure custom installation directory, Apache will use the
default I</usr/local/apache> directory.
=over
=item 1
Download the latest stable source releases:
Apache: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/
mod_perl: http://perl.apache.org/dist/
PHP: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
=item 1
Un-pack:
panic% tar xvzf mod_perl-x.xx
panic% tar xvzf apache_x.x.x.tar.gz
panic% tar xvzf php-x.x.xx.tar.gz
=item 1
Configure Apache.
panic% cd apache_x.x.xx
panic% ./configure
=item 1
Build mod_perl:
panic% cd ../mod_perl-x.xx
panic% perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_x.x.xx/src NO_HTTPD=1 \
USE_APACI=1 PREP_HTTPD=1 EVERYTHING=1
panic% make
=item 1
Build mod_php:
panic% cd ../php-x.x.xx
panic% ./configure --with-apache=../apache_x.x.xx \
--with-mysql --enable-track-vars
panic% make
panic# make install
[F] mod_php doesn't come with I<make test> suit, so we don't run it [/F]
=item 1
Reconfigure Apache to use mod_perl and PHP and build it:
panic% cd ../apache_x.x.xx
panic% ./configure \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
panic% make
[F] If you are building PHP3, use I<php3/libphp3.a>. [/F]
=item 1
Test and install mod_perl
panic% cd ../mod_perl-x.xx
panic% make test
panic# make install.
=item 1
Complete the Apache installation.
panic# cd ../apache_x.x.xx
panic# make install
=back
Now when you start the server:
panic# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
you should see something like this in
I</usr/local/apache/logs/error_log>:
[Fri May 18 11:10:31 2001] [notice]
