mod_python + apache + winxp => nogo

[cyberco]

And I thought this would be trivial...getting mod_python to run within
apache on windows XP.

=============
mod_python 3.2.8
apache 2.0.55
python2.4
winxp
=============

After adding:
"LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so"

to apache's httpd.conf, apache refuses to start, saying:
"cannot load c:/<path>/mod_python.so into server: the specified module
could not be found"

'mod_python.so' is in the modules folder under apache, though.

I've searched everywhere, but could not find a solution. Anybody here
that has been successful in getting this combo to work?
