In the httpd.conf file, there should be an entry for ServerRoot. This needs to point to the directory where the executables are installed - in your case, it looks like this should be changed to read /usr/local/httpd.
Also, in the conf file, there is an entry for DocumentRoot. This needs to point to where the web files reside. (shouldn't be the same as the ServerRoot). If the ServerRoot is not correct, you can expect all sorts of errors to be reported when you try to start the service. If DocumentRoot is not correct, you will not be able to browse to your web pages. (Although you can use virtual hosts and ignore/override the DocumentRoot setting). This should be a start. If you still get errors, post the messages to the list. Just out of curiosity, why did you not use the install method of your distro? (apt-get, yum, emerge, etc....) If the only change you made to the default .configure was to set the layout, then this probably would have been done by the distro's package manager.
