What does line 1158 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf contain? Sure looks here like yer compilation went wrong and ssl wasn't really included into the resulting binary, though, again Owen and John will have a better clue on this, but, that certainly looks like the error is telling you ssl failed to compile proper or httpd can;t properly find said module.
