Thanks. The missing piece was the apache2-devel which is not installed by
default and is not included on the installation media. updatedb dis not
seem to work either but ended up that I found it at
ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/repositories/Apache/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/apache2-devel-2.2.3-11.2.i586.rpm.
Once that was installed I discovered that I was also missing the
development package for mm. After downloading and istalling this from
ftp://ftp.ossp.org/pkg/lib/mm/mm-1.4.2.tar.gz I was able to compile php and
get it running with Apache.
