Thank you for your pointer, Mats.  Unfortunately, it still doesn't seem
to work.

To further confuse things, I found an old Ubuntu 5.04 machine that also
had Apache 2 and PHP 4 installed, and checked its php.ini file.  In it,
extension_dir is commented out, and so are all of the "extension="
lines.  However, both GD and PGSQL are enabled and working, and the only
place that I see them is in the /usr/lib/php4/20020429 directory. ( them
being the .so files that provide those capabilities )

The PHP build configuration shows quite clearly "--without-pgsql", so 
that shouldn't be related.

Incidentally, there are no .htaccess or php.ini files in the web
directory where I am getting the phpinfo information.
