Using my packages can solve this for you. I have all the dependencies
solved for you. You can find my packages here:
http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/mandrake/

Details on how to add my page as a urpmi source are here:

Why? If you're worried about support, I can assure you that my Apache
packages will be kept up to date with security fixes. One of the
machines that serves stuff for the Mandrake security team is running
those packages.

If you find bugs in my packages, I want to know about it. I'll be happy
to fix them, I'm running them on the platforms I have up (including
Mandrake 9.2).

I'll have to defer to one of the Windows guys about this.

APR isn't at 1.0 yet. As a result they're still finding and fixing
problems...
