Good Call. I installed the development packages and php configured, 
compiled and installed properly. I am now left with what seems like a 
simple problem, which I have not successfully tackled. If I run my program 
by typing: php test.php, it does not work. If I do: ./php test.php it does 
work. I am assuming the "make install" didn't do what I expected, but I 
haven't found the problem yet. Any ideas?

(Still getting the same error: Undefined function as described below. I 
checked for copies all over the filesystem and compared them using md5sum. 
All appear to be the same. I am puzzled.)
