When you install apache server, apachectl file usually resides in sbin directory not bin, there can be problem... And when you want to install some software from source first you should read help "configure --help" especially for soft like apache, there are many options you have to set up before you install it.

First of all, why do you need to compile your own set of Apache server?
Which version of the Suse 9.x are you running on?
The reason why I ask is just due to the fact, SuSE is distributed with pre-compiled Apache with "almost" all features/modules that you might need. If it is due to optimization, then yuo need to read the documentation really carefully, since it is quite a lot of parameters into "configure" command that you need to apply.
