mod_rewrite apache installation

Hi,
I downloaded Apache 2.2.3 and installed it on my machine (linux).
I wanted to use the rewrite Engine and I noticed that I did not have
mod_rewrite installed (it does not appear when I type httpd -l or when
I try to locate mod_rewrite).
How can I install it now, does anybody have a idea ?
Do I have to reinstall my Apache ? And if so, how can I do to have this
module installed ?
thanks,
mc

Downloaded means..what?Compiled from sources or did you used an prebuild
package from your distributor?

Sorry,
I download and compiled the Unix Source: httpd-2.2.3.tar.gz from
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Well,do you still know what the configure commandline was,you used?
It should contain something like
" --enable-rewrite " and if needed --enable-mods-shared=" ...
mod_rewrite ...".Then recompile.
It should be most simple for you just to reinstall apache but there should
be also a way just by building the module with the help of apxs/apxs2,which
i'm not sure about.

I looked into the apx solution and now it works.
I found the mod_rewrite.c hidden somewhere and than in in the directory
where mod_rewrite was located I type this command :
[path to apxs]/apxs -i -c mod_rewrite.c
And now everything works,
thanks
