[mod_python] mod_python install fails

Then it seems to be an alternative installation of Apache, and you must 
use the full path.

This is calling whichever httpd is in your path. Run this command instead:

  /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/httpd -V

Once again, you must use the apxs installed by your target Apache 
installation. It is probabably this:

  /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/apxs

Confirm this and use:

  --with-apxs=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/apxs

That looks like the apxs installed by Red Hat.

It's looking for Red Hat's httpd, not the CollabNet one.

You should also make sure you don't have Red Hat's mod_python installed. 
While it's easy to install mod_python to work with any single Apache 
installation, it's a bit more work to support multiple installations.

And if you're not going to use Red Hat's Apache, uninstall every bit of 
it to get it out of your path (and add /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/ to 
your path if you want the convenience).
