Thanks Rod, but the problem turned out to be a bad symbolic link (ghost
of rpms past). I rpm -e'd again and then rm -r the old directories. The
next problem was really odd, but turned out to be a known bug. One has
to manually add a libs directory to the php build directory prior to
make install, some problem between php-4.2.0 and php-4.2.1 (see
http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.bugs&article=9116).

I now have have MING on my box at home and tested with some sample
scripts from http://www.neuralust.com/%7Emingdocs/.

For those interested, I'm trying php/MING as a graphical environment for
displaying genomic information.
