Enabling short tags in PHP 4.0.6

I have just installed PHP 4.0.6 on my server and although the php.ini
file shows that short open tags should be on, a look at phpinfo() shows
they are off and of course the don't work. I have a huge site already
developed using short tags and must turn them on. Does anyone know what
is wrong? I even configured PHP with the --enable-short-tags option but
still no luck.
