[mod_python] Integration Issue

I compiled and installed Python 2.4 under Redhat in /usr/local/bin and
/usr/local/lib (default locations). I then compiled mod_python using
Python 2.4 (I could see it picking up the right version when compiling).
However, when run under Apache, it seems it still picks up the older
version of Python libraries from /usr/lib. How can I make Apache (or
mod_python under Apache) use the new version?

Thanks,
