What am I doing wrong? Never modify "configure" scripts. You need to modify the autoconf template the configure script is built off of. In the case of lang/php5, autoconf is run to build the configure script during the "make configure" stage (which is being executed during part of "make install"). Note the USE_AUTOTOOLS line in the Makefile.
