Probably because the binary is at /usr/sbin/httpd.  You'll probably have to edit
a makefile to correct it.

Did you type this by hand?  Odd that "apxs" is misspelled.

I've installed PHP and MySQL from source on all of the RaQ line.  It certainly
can be done.  It's possible that the RPMs you grabbed expect files in different
locations than found on the RaQs.

You'll probably need to edit the apxs file somewhere in the first 100 lines
(can't remember off-hand) and change an occurence of /usr/bin to /usr/sbin.

If you're able to recompile Apache on a RaQ3 with mod_perl, openssl and the
other non-standard modules let us know.
