How to link PHP 5.3 (FastCGI) to cURL with Lighttpd on Mac OS X?

Question

I installed lighttpd, php5 +fastcgi, and php5-curl earlier this morning using MacPorts. I have been able to get the former two working fine, but I can't seem to get PHP to see the installed cURL extension. I did not change the install path for cURL - it is now at /opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/curl.so.

I've added a line into my PHP file as well:

extension=curl.so

I've tried this line as well as one using the absolute path, restarting the server in between tries, but nothing has made cURL show up as an extension when I run a test page with phpinfo().

Am I missing a step here? Do I need to reconfigure and recompile PHP with an option for cURL, maybe?
