The "mod_python" Google group doesn't get used. You should be
subscribing to and posting on the mod_python mailing list for best
chances of a response. Mailing list details are on the mod_python web
site.

Should you have perhaps used:

  --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

Ie., is the version of Apache you compiled for actually the version you
are running it with?

Do you have multiple versions of Apache installed on your system?
