Hi there all,
I have the following syntax, i am using it to configure PHP5. Unfortunatly 
during the configure test it stops after a while at:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs 
--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib 
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config 
--with-gd --enable-soap --enable-sockets

results in:

If configure fails try --with-jpeg-dir=<DIR>
configure: error: libpng.(a|so) not found.

I tried to use the --with-jpeg-dir attribute, this didn't help. Could 
someone perhaps give me headstart to get php5 installed please?

Hope someone knows a solution,
Kind regards Bannister

I found that the configure script (I was compiling under AMD64) and many 
parameters you enter wont help much because of the hardcoding.
The 'configure' script I had to alter to look something like this:  
(altered 'lib' too 'lib64' - because I was compiling on AMD64, and my 
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64 parameter wouldn't work because of the 
hardcoding in the configure script "(your dir)/lib/file.a" ) - Took a 
while to find and realise this though :-|    Bottom line is if the 
libjpeg.a file is NOT in a dir called '****/lib' then it will fail.

     if test -f "$i/lib64/libjpeg.$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME" -o -f 
"$i/lib64/libjpeg.a"; then
     test -f $i/lib64/libjpeg.$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME -o -f 
$i/lib64/libjpeg.a && GD_JPEG_DIR=$i && break
     test -f $i/lib64/libjpeg.$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME -o -f 
$i/lib64/libjpeg.a && GD_JPEG_DIR=$i && break

Beware there are a number of occurences of these issues for you to find 
before you will get a configure/compile out of it.
I had similar problems with soap, png, and a number of other things that 
required hacking of the configure and Makefile before I could get a compile.
