Newbie question - Apache can't find cgi-bin

Please let me know if there are any newbie doc's out there.
I still haven't learned the terminology well enough to
find much in the Apache documentation.

I'm just setting up a local website (SUSE 7.3). Apache
can't seem to find /cgi-bin/ which is defined as
/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin

I get the following error when trying to access a script in
that directory:

Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/genhtml.pl was not found on this
server.

I'm just going around in circles trying to figure this out.
I'm using comanche to configure the server.

Have you tried writing in your httpd.conf (or your specific apache config
file)
a line like :
Alias /cgi-bin /path/to/cgi-bin

and those one:
<Directory /path/to/cgi-bin>
Options +ExecCGI -Includes -Indexes
SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>

Bonne chance !
