One step further ...
These err msgs where generated by bad configure commands.
The faulty ./configure that ended with in the result above:
./configure '--with-libdir=lib' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--cache-file=../config.cache' '--prefix=/usr/local/php543-cgi'...
I currenlty need to have php5.4.3 while maintaining the avilability for php 5.5.
MY OS is ubuntu 14.04
I tried to follow this information guide here;

When running configure i got missing links, fixed that with symlinks and configure commands as described here...
