If you are having trouble getting it all to install correctly, you might resort to Apache Toolbox at:
http://www.apachetoolbox.com This is an interactive script that will take your input as to what you want to install and with what options. It will then download all necessary files, configure and install them. You only need to do the final compile and install on Apache. It works well for me.
