What do you get for ./httpd -l and ./httpd -V ?  
  
With your ./configure arguments, configure says:  
  
checking which MPM to use... prefork  
checking whether to enable mod_http... shared (most)  
checking whether to enable mod_mime... shared (most)  
  
mod_http should never be shared!!  
  
What's happened is that by explicitly specifying --enable-http, you've tricked 
it into allowing --enable-mods-shared=most to cause mod_http to be built as a 
shared module (DSO), which you can't do.  The link failures are because the 
symbols exported from mod_http are missing.  Get rid of the --enable-http 
from the ./configure line and then mod_http will go back to being statically 
compiled like it's supposed to be and it will work.  We should try to find 
some way to detect this misconfiguration and either fix it automatically or 
at least fail more gracefully.
