I believe the website is out of date. PHP-GTK used to have two different 
build systems, a "historical" one and another that relied on PHP being 
4.3.x. At version 1.0.1 of PHP-GTK, the "historical" build system was 
removed, thus PHP 4.3.x was required. The website doesn't reflect this 
change unfortunately. At the time, I don't think PHP5 had been released 
(I may be wrong about that though).

I'll try hacking the configure script not to complain about PHP != 4.3.x 
and see how much further it gets.

Paul.
