Newbie Question: (OT?) rpm -ba problems

[John Walker <john jsw4 net>]

I'm trying to add mod_ssl to an existing Redhat 6.2 /Apache 1.3.22-0.6

I tried the first time and rpm complained loudly about some missing
things... (mm and eapi)

I got mm and installed it, and I got apache-devel-1.3....... (According to
the RPM, apache-devel provides eapi)

I'm really trying to do the RPM thing here. I know I can do the tarball
based source build, but I don't really want to work that hard, and I need
ssl up yesterday... <g> (Of course mod_perl is required in the midst of all
this.)

Here's the brief synopisis of my issue, can anyone tell me if I can do what
I am trying ? (I got mod-ssl for RH7.2 because they don't seem to have one
for RH6.2 which may account for the huge bleeding hole in my foot???)
