There was no way that apache22 was going to install with the apr. I tried everything imaginable and referred to your suggestions. Finally, I removed apr, removed the configuration files from the /work directory, redid config without apr and did config-recursive. Much to my surprise, it worked... now to install php5 and php5 extensions and try it all out.
