May want to use blastwave instead; although I think they install  
their very own apache2 at the same time.

You can use "crle" to control libs behavior; this is similar to using  
"ldconfig" under Linux.

You can also try to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH, however there are some  
caveats to doing this (may not always work, I think, depending on how  
the library is searched for).

Cordially
