Ok, here is the --help:
--with-apxs[=FILE] Build shared Apache module. FILE is the optional
pathname to the Apache apxs tool; defaults to
apxs.
So, if you read what that says, it says that you should give the full path
to the apxs executable. I see that you tried
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs...that *should* work assuming that is the right
path to the binary. Mine is in /usr/sbin/apxs and here is it working:
[300][ ~/checkout/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/connectors ]% ./configure
--with-apr=/usr/local --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking whether the C compiler (cc ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (cc ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether cc accepts -g... yes
checking for ranlib... ranlib
checking for ar... /usr/bin/ar
checking for test... /bin/test
checking APR directory... /usr/local
setting target directories to "lib"

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for apxs... /usr/sbin/apxs
adding apache-1.3 to target directories: "lib apache-1.3"
checking sources directory...

updating cache ./config.cache
creating ./config.status

Showing me your output would be helpful as well as the output of
ls -la /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

My fault. Will fix asap.
