Ok i was able to find the solution in a different thread. for some 
reason the php source file: php-4.4.3.tar.gz doest not seem to work with 
mapserver and postgreSQL at the same time.  I found this also to be true 
with all of the PHP version 5+ sources.  The only source that seems to 
work with all the libraries and tools needed for Mapserver is 
php-4.4.3.tar.bz2

if anyone has any reasoning as to why that is i would be really 
interested in knowing.  Also i am running Fedor Core 5 and Apache 2.2 
and i have the same problem on my Suse 10.1 system with Apache 2.2
