Compiling php-5.5.10 from source with:

$ sh configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
$ make

results in a build that can't be installed:

$ sudo make install
...blah...blah...
Warning!  dlname not found in /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.la.
Assuming installing a .so rather than a libtool archive.
chmod 755 /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
chmod: /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: No such file or directory
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536

very frustrating!
