I've found that on a RedHat system, the 'locate' command does a pretty 
good job of tracking things down.  Very few linux programs seem to have 
any provision for uninstalling unless they come in a binary package 
like RPMs.

That is correct.  You would need to either tell Apache not to load it's 
PHP modules or not to use them.  I believe the Apache docs say how to 
use the external PHP instead, which it -looks- like you've done, above.

I think that's your issue.  Maybe try a different source for the PHP 
package?  Find a different version and see if it installs?

You can look through the 'make' file to get some clue about what 
acctually happens when you do 'make install', then un-do it manually, 
but I don't think your problem is uninstalling, it's that hang on 
installation.

Having installed from RPM's, I don't really know what your options are, 
but can you try the Apache internal PHP handler and see if you get the 
same error?  If so, can you try re-compiling the Apache PHP modules?  
(I belive the directions are on the Apache web site.)
