Hi Graham / Jeff,

Yes have got the required Free BSD ports now - 

Apache 2.2.4
http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/www/apache22/apache22.tar.gz?tarball=1

Python 2.4.2 / 2.4.4
http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/lang/python24/python24.tar.gz?tarball=1

mod_python 3.3.1
http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/www/mod_python3/mod_python3.tar.gz?tarball=1

apr 1.2.8
http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/devel/apr/apr.tar.gz?tarball=1

----

I think we should be done after installation from ports.
Need to figure out the correct installation steps.

Thanks for your inputs so far !

Cheers,
Anthony

Have you tried what Jeff suggested, which was to use the BSD ports
versions rather than build directly from your own source code?
