Error during the installation of Apache??

["Vishnu Mohanan" <suppressed>]

Hi Sir,
        My name is Vishnu working as
a Bioinformatics programmer in India. I faced several problems in
installation of mod_perl. I have installed Apache httpd-2.2.6 in my
local system. I installed Apache in the system using the following
commands

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
make
make install

After that I tried to install mod_perl-2.0.3.
I gave the following command to install it.

suppressed mod_perl-2.0.3]# perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=  "/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs"

But the result is only a error message as follows.

Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV
 MP_APXS = /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
no conflicting prior mod_perl version found - good.
[  error] Unable to determine server version, aborting.
[  error] Invalid MP_APXS specified?

When I checked in the system, there is no folder named "APXS".
The APXS folder is not creating in the "/usr/local/apache2/bin/" directory.
I am using Fedora 5 version.
Is APXS is necessary? Then how will we create that?

Will you help me to install the mod_perl properly
Waiting for your reply..
Thanking you
                         
Yours faithfully
                                                
Vishnu
