And they won't since you installed it using rpm, not dnf. To rectify
this, reinstall the RPM using "dnf reinstall <path/to/your/rpm>" to sync
dnf's database and try to use dnf to install local packages instead of
directly using rpm (it works just fine).

I think you mean "SSLeay". There are two Perl packages that have that,
as revealed by 'dnf list "*leay*":
[root@golem4 ~]# dnf list "*ssleay*"

To make life easier, distcache isn't necessary for Apache...it's just
"helpful". I'd build Apache without distcache support by running the
configure script WITHOUT specifying the socache-dc module (either in the
"--enable-modules=MODULE-LIST", "--enable-mods-shared=MODULE-LIST" or
"--enable-mods-static=MODULE-LIST" options, or via the separate
"--enable-socache-dc" option).
If you don't specify some form of "enable-socache-dc", it doesn't get
built and as I said, it's not really necessary for a functional Apache.
