Allen,

I’m not sure if this will help you or not, but it
seems to me that the problems you have listed are two
different ones.  The one with apache occurs at link
time.  Apache is looking for something at an address
that's illegal; doesn't exist or doesn't have the
correct size.  

The header not found problem is happening at compile
time.   It seems that the makefile is not finding the
headers where it expects them to be.

Both could be as the result of mismatched versions;
one version is looking for something in a directory
that is not provided by the other version.
