Most probably it's php extension loading order, which is really bit of hit 
and miss to debug. Fooling around with /usr/local/php/extension.ini loading 
order might help once you find the culprit.

Been thinking about one possible solution to this problem as everytime php 
is rebuilt, extension order changes, unless old and working extension ini is 
stored somewhere.

What I've had in mind is having php itself install the extension file in 
known working load order with extensions commented out and then every 
extension port removing comment at installtime and putting comment back at 
deinstall.
