Kfir,
Thanks. A lot happened since this note. The system crashed with globe in a folder upon startup. Restarting resulted in the same outcome. I am on a rack mount xServer with 10.3.9. I reinstalled it successfully ( no more globe). I am reluctantly considering a MAMP stack especially since I am short on time to get my project done and the OS is so old.

I seem to be able to build without problems, so more information is needed for me to help you further.

Hello Juan
It looks like make can’t find the makefile. Is it present in the directory?
Anyway I will look into it tomorrow morning.
Are you running OS X 10.5 or 10.6?

I tried to install the 5.3.2 and the make command failed with:
> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Your completely right Maurits.
I have changed the install installation of Apache to /usr/local/sbin in the instructions but not in the shell code. stupid me.
If you install the developer tools (xcode) you should have gcc and libtools on your system.
Cheers for the improvements

Came across your blog today

I have some comments on this one…

You need GCC to compile everything. Get it from the OS-X install DVD or download on connect.apple.com.

Before compiling the JPEG library you need libtool (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/).

The –with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apache2/bin/apxs in de PHP config line is wrong, since we installed apache in /Library. Needs to be –with-apxs2=/Library/Apache2/bin/apxs
