Can't get Apache set up with mod_rewrite

[franklin97355]

OK, I've reinstalled apache 2.0.46 from the tar file then configured, make, make install. after this there is only one mod_rewrite on my system in /usr/lib/httpd/modules and when I set httpd.conf to use this file it complains about the API. What am I doing wrong? This is driving me crazy (and I don't have any more hair to pull out)

Thanks for any help you can give me

Try this....
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so --enable-module-rewrite; make; make install

I am assuming want apache in /usr/local/apache
