Take a look at your boot process. Somewhere within it might be a step
that runs ldconfig, which manages /etc/ld.so.cache which is a list of
the locations of libraries on your system. Apache must be started
after this step.
On my SuSE 6.3 system, the call to ldconfig appears to be in
/etc/rc.d/boot.
Also, if you have a system with a set of /etc/rc.d/rcX.d directories
with a bunch of files like SXXapache links within them, make sure the
number (XX) for apache is very high. These numbers represent the order
which actions are taken during the boot process. You want to make sure
Apache startes late in the process when all other essential services
are started.
Good luck
