Add MSSQL to PHP

I am new to Linux and am trying to blunder my way through adding the mssql server functions to PHP
http://us.php.net/mssql

I have the default installations of PHP and Apache.
PHP Version 4.3.9
Apache 2.0.52

I was told to recompile PHP with this argument: --with-mssql=/usr/local
I created this script:

cd php-4.4.6
./configure \
  --build=x86_64-redhat-linux \
  --host=x86_64-redhat-linux \
  --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu \

  --with-snmp=shared \

  --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr \
  --enable-memory-limit \
  --enable-shmop \
  --enable-calendar \
  --enable-dbx \
  --enable-dio \
  --enable-mbstring=shared \
  --enable-mbstr-enc-trans \
  --enable-mbregex \
  --with-mime-magic=/usr/share/file/magic.mime \
  --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs \
  --with-mssql=/usr/local \
  --enable-versioning \
  --disable-libxml

All these arguments except the last three come from phpinfo()

When I run the script, it dies with this error:
Configuring SAPI modules
checking for AOLserver support... no
checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS... no
checking for Apache 1.x module support... no
checking for mod_charset compatibility option... no
checking for Apache 2.0 filter-module support via DSO through APXS... no
checking for Apache 2.0 handler-module support via DSO through APXS...

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 /usr/sbin/apxs follows:
./configure: line 5674: /usr/sbin/apxs: No such file or directory
configure: error: Aborting
