ServletExec

From hell -- does anybody on earth have any insight on how to get ServletExec v3.1 running with SuSE... I have been beating my head against the wall all weekend and still have nothing to show.. Well there is something, it is 'up' but when I try to test a servlet I get denied.. How do you recompile the apache that comes with SuSE 7.0?? i.e. where would I run the ./configure, etc.. etc.. without having to rebuild apache altogether...

Please help! -Scott
