Adding Apache Modules

Hi

I installed Fedora Core 5 for the first time this week - everything went 
well until I tried to add mod_rewrite to Apache...

This is what I did...
Removed rpms httpd apache etc
Downloaded apache 2.2.2 source
Configured with mod_so
etc

So Apache is working fine which makes me wonder if it's something to do 
with Fedora...

Now when I try to add mod_rewrite with
apxs -i -a mod_rewrite.c /usr/local/apache/build/instdso.sh

this is the output
SH_LIBTOOL='/usr/local/apache/build/libtool' mod_rewrite.c 
/usr/local/apache/modules
/usr/local/apache/build/libtool --mode=install cp mod_rewrite.c 
/usr/local/apache/modules/
cp mod_rewrite.c /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.c
Warning!  dlname not found in /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.c.
Assuming installing a .so rather than a libtool archive.
chmod 755 /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so
chmod: cannot access `/usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so': No such 
file or directory
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536

Now the warning about dlname is apparently normal so I have tried other 
suggestions I found on the net

yum install httpd-devel
yum install libtool

I also the permissions on apache/modules to 777 because I thought it was 
a permissions problem but it's had no effect.

It is Apache 2 even though it /usr/local/apache

Any help would be appreciated

Regards,

Chris
