Why do you have --with-pgsql=shared? Normally, you just need the switch
--with-pgsql.
when you ran the ./configure script, did you save the output and see
whether it said it found and configured postgresql? My bet is that it
failed during ./configure and you didn't notice, as it won't cause the
./configure script to error out.
Also, I'd recommend compiling apache for DSO support, i.e. using the
--with-apxs switch setting. I've seen problems show up with using the .a
libs instead of .so. Since shared objects seems the preferred
methodology, it seems like problems with configuration that affect dso get
fixed much quicker than static libs.
