thanks for the thought but LD_LIBRARY_PATH was not set - just for kicks 
i unset it anyhow and tried again - no dice

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd: symbol lookup error: 
/usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0: undefined symbol: gdbm_errno
                                                           [FAILED]

i am stumped! i wish i could rebuild the box but i cant....
