Bill,

Gregor and Rob are both right. You can point --with-php=DIR either to 
the original source tree that was used to compile PHP or to the install 
directory where the PHP header files are installed by the php-devel 
package or equivalent (e.g. /usr).

Basically what MapServer's configure script needs is the location of the 
PHP header files that were used to compile your PHP installation.
