do you have a php.ini file? what version of apache are you running? did 
you set up the Ailas in httpd.conf as well as define its  access?

Alias /phpmyadmin/ "/usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin/"

<Directory "/<path to phpmyAdmin>/phpMyAdmin">
         Options Indexes MultiViews
         AllowOverride None
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>

what is the error in your http error log and/or phperr log file? you 
will probably see a undefined error somewhere, at least this is what I 
saw and i have a php.ini file in place.

make sure you have:

.:/php/includes

in you include_path and/or move the php.ini file out of /usr/local/etc 
dir and restart apache (not graceful as this haas been an issue for 
leaving the php ini stuff loaded in the past) to see what happens.

I am making a stab at your problem here ad might be way, WAY off base 
however you will have log info in /var/log(your logging dir default) 
for apache and php (phperr) let us know what is in those logs and I can 
help out a bit more. recently ran the gauntlet of php installation hell 
earlier.
