Okay, first thing is to do a "make install".  That will install all of
the required files and libraries in the correct locations.

Then, try to do a "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start".  You should get a
message similar to "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started"
If not, look in your /usr/local/etc/apache directory and make sure you
have the apache.conf, httpd.conf and srm.conf files, not just the
default ones.  (for a quick and dirty startup, you could just cp the
default files to the original .conf names, but I would not recommend
this.  It is better to cp the default files, then modify the conf
files to match your needs and security concerns.)

Then try the "apachectl start" command, and all should be happy.

Hope this helps and makes sense (its been a while since I've installed
apache on my server),

Bryan
