[mod_python] Installation Issues - Apache2 Python2.2 RedHat

I've gone and switched back to apache 1.3 for the time being.  If I get that
to work(which it looks like I will), I'll prolly consider using mod_python 3
instead, as I'm having to retool the python installs on my machine and it's
a major pain.  Plus, for whatever reason, and perhaps it just boils down to
esthetics, I'd rather have thread support built in...

Thanks,
Josh

got Python 2.2.1 installed.  I'm using RedHat 7.2 as my platform, and
python2 is installed via source RPM(./configure'd, make'd, and make
install'd).  Apache, I compiled from source.

wondering if this is a problem.  Reason being, when I type "make dso" after
configuring mod_python, I get this:
