install fails, debian etch 4.0

[edo660]

Hi there, been using these how-to's for ages now with great success...until now.

trying to get ISPconfig working on my friends VPS, using debian etch. i follow the debian etch guide to the T, but when it gets pretty far into the install process it fails with this being the last few lines.

./setup2: line 862: ispconfig_tmp/php/bin/php: No such file or directory
ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system! The installation routine stops here!

last i tried ispconfig was about a year ago with debian sarge, and it worked perfectly back then so not too sure what the problem is here... any help greatly appreciated.
