php install problem for apache and mysql

ok here is the deal
im running red hat 9 and im trying to install php-4.3.4 with mysql and apache version 2.0.48
have apache and mysql installed fine so far but whne i try and run the
../configure --with-mysql=/root/lankfordu/mysql --with-apxs2=/root/lankfordu/apache/apxs -with-gd=/root/lankfordu/gd-2.0.22

i get the following error

Sorry, I cannot run apxs.  Possible reasons follow:
 "
1. Perl is not installed
2. apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs
3. Apache was not built using --enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed)
 
The output of /root/lankfordu/apache/apxs follows:
./configure: line 5080: /root/lankfordu/apache/apxs: No such file or directory
configure: error: Aborting"

i then do
which perl and it tells me its installed in usr/bin/perl
so i dont think its that

what the hell is going on!
i compilled apache with --enable-so after doing it wrong the first time out, is there a way to check if this is ok

if its not that then it must be an apxs but i cant see it

this is really bugging me now
