Compiling PHP as CGI with Dreamhost

Hi. I am trying to run a script that needs a few modules that Dreamhost doesn't have in there PHP installation. They have some info about compiling a custom PHP in their Knowledge base and I am trying it, but I have no idea about the modules. How do I know what modules to install (like GD and the ones most hosts would have be default)? The two that dreamhost doesn't have are mbstring & domxml. If someone could direct me to a site that could help me, or give help themselves it would be great. As you can see I have no clue what I am doing, but I want to get this script working.

Also should I be using PHP 4 or 5? Thanks
