How to build mod_rewrite.so for Linux

Hi
I'm trying to enable URL Rewriting in Apache 1.3.12 under [RedHat]
Linux; I want to build mod_rewrite.so and then use a "LoadModule"
directive. I have tried to build it using a make in my apache source
tree and using APXS and the results are always the same. I get a
mod_rewrite.so file but when I add the LoadModule directive to
httpd.conf and fire up apache, I get the message:

Cannot load /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so into server:
/usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so: undefined symbol: dbm_fetch

I have read the HOWTO for DSO support but can not figure out what I need
to do to get this symbol resolved... (need it be available at runtime,
should it be bound into the module itself...?)

all HELP greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Raymond Blum

You also need to add
"AddModule mod_rewrite.c" line to the right order under your ClearModuleList.
