I finally upgraded php to version 4.3.4 and got pgsql to take when
rebuilding. The php rebuild was not producing any noticeable errors.
PHP was being rebuilt thru the cpanel "update Apache" module. As the final
stage of this step Apache is restarted. So i never really understood why
the build date on 4.3.3 was not getting updated.
Anyway thanks to everyone whom responded.
