You can compile just the extension for Tidy. Grab a copy of the same
version of PHP 5 as is installed on your system, and do the following:

cd php-5-x-x
cd ext/tidy
phpize 

At this point what happens is 'phpize' (which should have came with your
distro) will create a ./configure script in the ext/tidy directory which
you can use to build ext/tidy as a shared module

./configure --with-tidy=/path/to/libtidy.so

make
make install

of course, you'll need to make sure the resultant shared lib is placed
in whatever directory extension_dir is set to in your PHP.ini, and you
have extension=tidy.so in there as well.
