How are you running smoketest.php?  The expected way is by running
"make check" in the source tree, but it sounds like you're trying
to install smoketest.php.

Based on the API version number "20020429", you've built your module for
PHP4, which means it just isn't going to work with PHP5.

Start from a clean xapian-bindings source tree and configure like so:

    ./configure PHP_CONFIG=php-config5

If you don't have "php-config5", you may need to install a "PHP5
development" package or similar to get it, or it might be "php-config"
but with a different path.  I'm not familiar with OS X so I don't know
how this works there I'm afraid.
