[mod_python] mod_python on FreeBSD 6.1 gives Syntax error - mod_python.so: unsupported file layout

Hi Folks,

Have come to the community with a new issue with regard to installing mod_python on FreeBSD.

Eariler had installed apache/mod_python on
Suse 10 / 64 Arch.
- Apache 2.2.4
- mod_python 3.3.1
- apr 1.2.8
- apr-util 1.2.8

problems -
The issue with mod_python being installed in to locations.
Managed to get it working on this setup sucessfully.
---

Now I've installed the same configuration on
Free BSD 6.1 32 Arch.
>>>>
FreeBSD perputo3.inetu.net 6.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p3 #107: Mon Nov  6 20:31:10 EST 2006     root at turnip.inetu.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/INU6  i386
>>>>

Installation was completed successfully for all the above modules.

But after adding the required configuration line -
>>>
LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
>>>

And restarting apache , it throws the following error
>>>>
/usr/local/apache-ast>./bin/apachectl start
httpd: Syntax error on line 54 of /usr/local/apache-ast/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache-ast/modules/mod_python.so into server: /usr/local/apache-ast/modules/mod_python.so: unsupported file layout

>>>>

The required mod_python.so appears to be installed in
/usr/local/apache-ast/modules directory.

>>>>
/usr/local/apache-ast>ls -l modules/

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1739997 Jun 29 10:50 mod_python.so

>>>>

Have also added the following lines in the config file -
>>>>
<Directory "/usr/local/apache-ast/htdocs">
      AddHandler mod_python .py
      PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
      PythonDebug On
</Directory>

Any one knows if there is any bug with mod_python installation on FreeBSD 6.1. Please let me know in case you there is anything that is missing in the install steps.

Or is there any port of mod_python for Free BSD that needs to be used here.

Please let me know your advice on the same.

cheers,
Anthony
