Cannot compile 2.2.x with mod_rewrite under CentOS 6.2

["It's Me!" <missingshrink@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello. Compiling 2.2.23 under CentOS 6.2 32bit.

Using "CFLAGS='-DEAPI'./configure --enable-module=rewrite" results in:

"checking whether to enable mod_rewrite... no"

Even when I attempt to emulate CentOS's configure parameters (from src RPM), I receive the same. I have tried versions 2.2.19 to 2.2.23 to no avail.

How can this be? And more importantly, how can I resolve this?
