configure issues SUSE 9.1

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Make sure you have the php-devel package installed.  That's where the
headers (.h) reside.  The binary portion doesn't do that...

This assumes you installed using the RPMs and YaST.

If you installed from source, you should be pointing at the installation
path for php, where the libs and includes reside.

On some (but not all; go figure) redHat systems, I've had to copy some
of the PHP libs and .h's to /usr/local/[lib||include] to make things
happier.
