AFAIK the module should be in "/usr/lib/httpd/modules". You should also  
the following in your httpd.conf file:

     LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Then use .htaccess files for your rewrite rules, eg:

     Options +FollowSymLinks
     RewriteEngine On
     ReWriteRule ^main/([A-Z0-9a-z_]*) /index.php?file=$1.xml [L]

That's how I have it working on my machine anyway. Let us know if you  
getting it working ;)
