Prep your system
Setup your development server to be able to compile things. By default, most installations will not come with compilers installed.

apt-get install checkinstall
Say yes, and let it follow the dependencies as needed.
Get the development headers for some of the extensions you’ll be compiling in.

checkinstall
checkinstall will ask you some basic questions about the package, answer and let it build the package for you. You will run into an interesting issue at first, apxs2 will complain about a LoadModule not being in the httpd.conf file. This is an artifact of how Ubuntu/Debian likes to handle it’s configuration files. The simplest thing is to add a line at the bottom of your httpd.conf that loads a benign module. Mod Pony seems cute .
Configure your PHP like any normal apache server. Reload apache, put the handy phpinfo(); in your documentroot, and then have fun.
Be sure to remove the phpinfo(); from your production servers.
If you want MySQL 5.1, just do apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 , be sure to change the dev header packages to the same version as well.
I got this error when trying to configure php 5.2.6:
configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.
I’m using Debian and it showed that I had libxml2 installed (and it was the latest version).
It turns out that the latest stable version of libxml2 doesn’t include a file named xml2-config. I suppose I could have linked that file to the config file that the stable version of libxml2 uses, but the easy fix is to just install the newer development version of libxml2 using the following command:
apt-get install libxml2-dev
