problems upgrading Apache on Red Hat Enterprise

I'm new to linux. I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux box at work that
I'm trying to upgrade the Apache server on. Right now it's running
Apache 2.0.6, I think, and I want to upgrade to Apache 2.2.6. I have
the Apache files I need, problem is when I run the './configure'
command, I get the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------
Configuring Apache Portable Runtime Library...

Configuring for APR... reconfig
Configuring package in srclib/apr now
/bin/sh: /apache: No such file or directory
Configure failed for srclib/apr
--------------------------------------------------------
When I downloaded the files from Apache, I decompressed them to a
directory called 'Apache226'. I always go to this directory in Xterm
when I run the "./configure" command. I went to the srclib/apr
directory and successfully installed both the latest version of
autoconf and libtool. Another thing is my current verion of Apache is
installed in /etc/httpd. Can someone give me help as to why the './
configure' for Apache doesn't work? What does the "/bin/sh: /apache"
part mean? I created a directory called 'apache' where I though it
was looking for one, but that didn't help.

Also, can someone tell me what the "--prefix" tag does?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
