There were a few issues with the configure script when you were passing
an explicit path to the --with-pdf switch.  I fixed them in the 3.7 CVS
and you should (hopefully) not have to edit the makefile any more.

Notice that the link command and the error message still refer to -lPDF
in uppercase even though you edited the main makefile to use -lpdf. 
This is probably because you didn't edit the mapscript/php3/Makefile to
apply the same change.

Anyway, please get the latest configure and Makefile from CVS and give
them a try.  Your problems will probably go away.
