I've been in your situation many times also.  A nice trick is to check
what library paths php_mapscript.so is using, such as:

  sudo ldd php_mapscript.so

      which should show you the paths it is trying to use for the
dependant libs:


        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7fc3000)
        libmapserver-6.3-dev.so =>
/usr/local/lib/libmapserver-6.3-dev.so (0xb7dd1000)
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb7d4d000)
        libproj.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libproj.so.0 (0xb7d0e000)
        libgdal.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgdal.so.1 (0xb7286000)
        libgeos_c.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 (0xb725e000)
        libgeos-3.2.2.so => /usr/local/lib/libgeos-3.2.2.so (0xb70e2000)
        libsqlite3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 (0xb706a000)
        ...


Sometimes all that is needed is to make a symbolic link to a different
lib name.
