I think the issue is that you are trying to use the APR that comes with
Subversion (it does come bundled, right??). And that has its own
separate build process. I am away from my work and home computers for
the remainder of the week (client site) so can't look this up in detail
for you. I will have to leave that part to another.
OR - If you already have Apache installed and/or an already existing
APR, then use the --with-apxs= parameter to tell the system to use the
one already installed instead of trying to install another.
I hope that helps...

Frank
