Thanks for your time and cooperation.
Now i known where is the problem.
It's related to the patch-aa provided by the author of the module.
This patch forces the building process to seek in
/usr/local/include/apache. The biggest problem is that it brakes
flexibility, i.e., if you have apache installed somewhere not in the
defaults by the apache port, you run into problem.
Take a closer look into the patch-aa:

The line "$inc_dir = "/usr/local/include/apache";" is the problem. It
should not be there.
IMHO, this patch should not exist, 'cause it is not making thing easier
for those who don't have apache installed by ports, and removing this
patch would be no problem for those who of you whom installed apache
from ports.
In others worlds, by removing this patch, it will be possible to please
greeks and trojans.
Am i correct ?
Who should i ask to "correct" this "bug" ?
Thanks in advance!
