I had the same problem when I compiled apache by just 
using the rpm spec file. But when you have a closer look 
into that file, you will find that for some reason SSL 
support is disabled there and is supposed to be explicitly 
enabled as an option to rpm on the commandline (maybe this 
should be put into the QIM?).

If you want to make sure you are not missing any important 
apache modules, you might try using the Makefile for 
apache provided by the kroupware guys. In the version I 
checked out from CVS I found it in the apache subdiretory.

I hope this helps,
