I have Apache 2 webserver as delivered with the Solaris 10 installation.
How to verify if Apache is configured with loadable module support?
Or if needs to be recompiled with loadable module support.

# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.
# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#
# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so

Thanks Pressy!
for the upteenth time, the answer was within my reach, & I waited two days 
Another question arises:
Configuring newer modules / Extensions requires a re-compilation?
