modperl installation issues + Can't load APR.so

["jayakrishnan iyer" <suppressed>]

hi everyone,

I have installed apache 2.2.4 on my computer and am trying to install mod perl 2.0.3, but have been running into some issues.
To
be specific I am having issues loading APR.so duiring the "make test"
phase of the installation.  Due to this statements such as 
use APR;
use APR:Pool ();
refuse to work and hence show compilation problems.
The following code snippet gives the details of the error

t/apr-ext/base64..............
