apache2 - Upgrade PHP to 5.4.14 on OS X 10.7.5 Lion

I am trying to upgrade PHP on my Mac. I have downloaded PHP 5.4.14 and have no problems with the configuration command:

./configure \
 --prefix=/usr \
 --mandir=/usr/share/man \
 --infodir=/usr/share/info \
 --sysconfdir=/private/etc \

 --with-xsl=/usr \
 --enable-zip \
 --with-pcre-regex=/usr \
 --with-pgsql=/usr \
 --with-pdo-pgsql=/usr

When I do a make test I get a long slew of stuff with the following at the end:

I have updated PCRE on the system to version 8.32, and I require it due to some zlib dependencies amongst other things and general perl regular expression stuff. I'm at a loss as to why my make test won't pass.

Any help would be appreciated to fix this problem.

Option 1

Simply remove the --with-pcre-regex options. Modern version of PHP ship with PCRE library (located in ext/pcre/pcrelib), and is considered part of the core PHP build.

From php.net,

Note:

As of PHP 5.3.0 this extension cannot be disabled and is therefore always present.

It is still possible to build against an external PCRE library by using --with-pcre-regex=DIR

Option 2

As the note above states, you can build PHP with an external PCRE library. To do so, updated the --with-pcre-regex option with value returned by pcre-config --prefix.
