AFAIK, you need to recompile. One way to find out what options your 
current php was compiled with is to check the output of a phpinfo() call 
-- it includes the Configure Command that was used for the last compile.

If you have been using RPMs, this might seem like a big step as you'll 
need to recompile Apache from source as well. The learning curve is well 
worth it, however.
