[mod_python] wrong version?

What about my other questions:

How many different versions of Apache do you have installed?

What options did you use to 'configure' when building mod_python?

Did you use the 'install' target to 'make' or copy it by hand?

Do you also understand what I am talking about with the shared library
issue, not that it in itself should cause this problem.
