For those who end up here as the result of an internet search: my
problem in this case was that I installed i386 rpms on a x86_64
system, which explains why php couldn't load the modules even though
they were there.  

Two long hours with yum and rpm, removing and re-installing various
parts, and I have a happy user community.

So honestly this problem was of my own making.  Nothing to see here.
