It compiles fine until it starts trying to configure extensions. I have
removed the first few that I have come across and moved on accordingly.
However I am not sure what to do with this one...

checking for PostgreSQL support... yes
configure: error: Cannot find libpq.so. Please specify correct
PostgreSQL installation path

I do not need PostgreSQL support. So I am happy to turn this off. What
should I do to stop this configure error?

This is the original ./configure command pasted directly from the
phpinfo page...

'./configure' '--prefix=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-apxs2=/Library/Apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-openssl=/usr'
'--with-zlib=/usr' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-shared'
'--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex'
'--enable-session' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-tokenizer'
'--enable-wddx' '--with-xml' '--enable-yp' '--enable-versioning'
'--enable-trans-id' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-mysql=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-ldap=/usr' '--with-iodbc=/Library/PHP4' '--with-gd'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/Library/PHP4' '--with-png-dir=/Library/PHP4'
'--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-pdflib=/Library/PHP4' '--with-tiff-dir=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-pgsql=/Library/PHP4' '--with-iconv'
'--with-sybase=/Library/PHP4' '--with-mcrypt=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-curl=/usr' '--with-freetype-dir=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-ttf=/Library/PHP4' '--with-gettext=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-xmlrpc' '--with-mime-magic' '--with-pspell=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-expat-dir=/Library/Apache2' '--with-t1lib=/Library/PHP4'
'--enable-dbx' '--with-imap=/Library/PHP4' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr'
'--enable-cli' '--without-xpm-dir' '--enable-dbase' '--with-bz2=/usr'
'--enable-cgi' '--with-pear' '--with-java' '--with-dom=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-dom-xslt=/Library/PHP4' '--with-dom-exslt=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-snmp=/Library/PHP4' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack'
'--with-mhash=/Library/PHP4' '--with-ming=/Library/PHP4' '--with-pear'
'--enable-shmop' '--with-mcal=/Library/PHP4' '--with-gmp=/Library/PHP4'
'--enable-dio' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-ctype' '--enable-dba'
'--with-cdb' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-zip=/Library/PHP4'

This is the adjusted ./configure command...

'./configure' '--prefix=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-apxs2=/Library/Apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-openssl=/usr'
'--with-zlib=/usr' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-shared'
'--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex'

'--with-jpeg-dir=/Library/PHP4' '--with-png-dir=/Library/PHP4'
'--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-pdflib=/Library/PHP4' '--with-tiff-dir=/Library/PHP4'
'--with-pgsql=/Library/PHP4' '--with-iconv'
