Hi,

I think that you probably hit the problem described here

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#Server_Hanging_at_the_Startup


AFAIK, AIX version prior to 5, have no /dev/*random,
you should try to 

i) install PRNGD, see

http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html

ii) Install APR, but do not forget to specify
    the following configure option

	--with-egd=/dev/egd-pool

iii) try to build apache with the following options properly set :

    --with-egd=/dev/egd-pool
    --with-apr=/usr/local/bin/apr-config

You may find adding the following option useful

    --without-berkeley-db

By following these steps,
and with some patches,
I manage to build 
apr 0.9.7, apache 2.0.54, modperl 2.0.1
with gcc 2.95.3 on aix 4.3.2
Hope this helps.

For AIX specific stuff, I mean not modperl related,
do not hesitate to drop me an e-mail OFF-LIST

Best regards,
José
