Uninstalled Fedora's PHP (yum remove php) in favour of the 4.3.4 one from /home/wikipedia/src (tried make install; didn't build it). This failed because it wants something from apache:

--($:/home/wikipedia/src/php-4.3.4)-- make install
Installing PHP CLI binary:        /usr/local/bin/
Installing PHP CLI man page:      /usr/local/man/man1/
Installing PHP SAPI module:       apache
/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs: No such file or directory
make: *** [install-sapi] Error 127

Installed apache:

--($:/home/wikipedia/src/apache_1.3.29)-- make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/wikipedia/src/apache_1.3.29'
...

This apparently worked, but apache won't start. Tried to install PHP again:

--($:/home/wikipedia/src/php-4.3.4)-- make install
