Are you using Fedora or RHEL 4+ by any chance? A Google search using the 
error message points to lots of docs referring to SELinux getting in the 
way of Apache finding its libs. Some places suggest disabling SELinux 
completely, but there has to be a more elegant solution to tell SELinux 
to let Apache load those new libs.
