I solved it - it simply meant when being prompted for the prefix for the 
library to say "/usr/" instead of assuming that the autodetect function 
was what it says it was.

I also ended up by having to install libpng-dev, but it then built just 
fine.

I now have a pdf file which contains the entire php manual which I have 
loaded on my kindle (although the kindle seems to be stuggling with its 
size).
