FFMPEG-PHP Will Not Load! (been Trying To Get It Working For Days)

I have been trying to install ffmpeg-php for days, and I just can't seem to figure out why it won't load.

I have done all of the following after extraction, without any errors:

# cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0
# phpize
# ./configure
# make && make install

I have also added 'extension=ffmpeg.so' to the php.ini file and restarted the server.

I run the test command:
# php -i | grep ffmpeg

There is no output.

Then I run this command to check if the module is loaded:
# php -m

It is clearly not listed.

If I go back to the ffmpeg-php directory and run "make test", I see a huge list of errors that don't seem to make sense, and every single test FAILS, with the exception of the ones that are skipped with "reason: ffmpeg extension not loaded".

I can post the full output if needed.

If anyone thinks they know what the problem is, your help would be infinitely appreciated; I would even be willing to compensate.
