What best practices should be followed when compiling PHP to avoid errors related to libphp5.so?

When compiling PHP, it is important to ensure that the correct paths to libraries are specified to avoid errors related to libphp5.so. One common solution is to use the "--with-apxs2" flag during compilation to specify the path to the Apache apxs tool, which will help link the PHP module correctly. Additionally, checking the configuration options and paths for Apache and PHP libraries can help prevent any issues related to libphp5.so.

./configure --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs
make
make install
