Description:
------------
Here is the lasted command that I have tried to use for configure: 
"./configure --with-apxs=/opt/csw/apache/bin/apxs --enable-memory-limit=yes --enable-magic-quotes=yes --enable-libgcc --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-fastcgi --with-zlib=/usr/include/zlib.h --with-bz2=/usr/local/bin/bzip2 --enable-bcmath --with-gd"  
When I run this configure fails with the error: 
"Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS." 

The possible causes that it lists are completely not a problem for me, I have Perl installed, Apache is compiled with DSO support (in fact I have several modules already loaded), and as you can see I specified the path to APXS in the config command. 

I first thought that this might be an issue with my Apache install so I re-installed it to the location it is at now.  This did not produce any different results.  I have ran this config and several variations of it as a regular user, su'ed and as root thinking that it might be a permissions issue, still I get the same result.  

When I use this:
"--with-apxs=/opt/csw/apache/bin" I get the error that it cannot execute /opt/csw/apache/bin.

Reproduce code:
---------------
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.9
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
*****
checking for working const... yes
checking flex version... 2.5.4 (ok)
checking for pthreads_cflags... -pthreads
checking for pthreads_lib...
Configuring SAPI modules
checking for AOLserver support... no
checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS...

Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS.  Possible reasons:

Expected result:
----------------
Not sure, I expected it to say configure completed successfully. (???)  Never had it configure completely yet.

Actual result:
--------------
Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS.  Possible reasons:

1.  Perl is not installed;
2.  Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);
3.  'apxs' is not in your path.  Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
The output of /opt/csw/apache/bin/apxs follows
./configure: /opt/csw/apache/bin/apxs: not found
configure: error: Aborting

Perl is installed, Apache is compiled with DSO support, and I specified the path in the configure command.

/opt/csw/apache/bin/apxs does not exist, how could it work.

Please don't submit bug reports so easily, try Google/mailing lists first.

/opt/csw/apache/bin/apxs does exist, maybe you should try searching google or Sun.com.  The /opt directory is the default directory for optional software packages to be installed in the Solaris Operating Environment. 

Now can I please get an answer to my question.

And this is not "bogus"

What output do you get when you run:
/opt/csw/apache/bin/apxs -q CFLAGS
 [2003-06-26 09:34 UTC] jtjones at crimsonknight dot com 
Ok, I have found the problem.  You cannot build PhP for Apache on Solaris when you have installed Apache from binaries.  If you are running Solaris, you must remove Apache from your system and build Apache from source and then build PhP, other-wise configuring PhP will fail to find the apxs source.

Well I have gotten this solved, now to find out what other problems I have.
