Finally I was able to compile PHP on AIX. When I try to load from Apache, I get the below error.
/install/usr/local/apache2/bin:>apachectl -f /install/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf -k stop
httpd: Syntax error on line 53 of /install/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /install/usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: \t0509-022 Cannot load module /install/opt/freeware/lib/libfontconfig.a(libfontconfig.so.1).\n\t0509-150 Dependent module /install/usr/local/apache2/lib/libexpat.a(libexpat.so.1) could not be loaded.\n\t0509-152 Member libexpat.so.1 is not found in archive \n\t0509-022 Cannot load module /install/usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so.\n\t0509-150 Dependent module /install/opt/freeware/lib/libfontconfig.a(libfontconfig.so.1) could not be loaded.
I changed the version number in libexpat.la and tried again with no luck.
# libexpat.la - a libtool library file

Help is appreciated.
