Colin Aspin went a little further and reported the following in
​http://pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/mailman/private/ps-ipp-users/msg00268.html

Colin: if you say 'locate apxs' or 'locate bin/apxs' you should find apxs.

I think one part of the fix is that mod_perl-2.0.3 should be installed by pscheckperl.

---

So I eventually find MM in in the mod_perl-2.0.3 module and install
that and I get:

[caa@nox psconfig]% cd mod_perl-2.0.3
[caa@nox mod_perl-2.0.3]% perl Makefile.PL
no conflicting prior mod_perl version found - good.

Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script
provides a lot of information about the Apache installation, and makes
it easier to find things on your system. Normally it's located in the
same directory as the 'httpd' executable.

If you don't yet have Apache installed you can build Apache against
the Apache source code, but you won't be able to run the test suite (a
very important step). Therefore you may want to install Apache before
proceeding.

Please provide a full path to 'apxs' executable
(press Enter if you don't have it installed):

Please provide the location of the Apache directory: ?
[ error] Can't find dir '?'
Please provide the location of the Apache directory: /etc/httpd/
[ error] Unable to open /etc/httpdap_release.h: No such file or
directory
[ error] Unable to determine server version, aborting.
[ error] Please specify MP_APXS or MP_AP_PREFIX.

ap_release.h doesn't exist on my computer... also, I have no idea
where the 'Apache directory' is.

I understand that mod_perl would be a nightmare to install automatically. We have explicitly left it as something for the user to install manually. Similarly, we don't install Apache automatically, but leave it to the user.
