没有apxs的Apache

Question

I am running Apache on a Synology 1512+. I would like to do some development using python and have chose to use mod_wsgi to serve. I initially installed ipkg and used that to instal mod_wsgi . Unfortunately, it seems to have installed python 2.5 (and possible another apache) instead of using the currently installed Python 2.7 and the running Apache. I decided to just try to compile my own mod_wsgi, but it appears that I am missing apxs?

The following is the error that I receive. I am at a loss for what to do next. Using ipkg or compiling myself are my own two known options. Am I able to just download a compiled version or something?

./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.7

checking for apxs2... no

Use ipkg to install the development package for Apache corresponding to the core Apache package you installed. The development package contains apxs, but more importantly contains the header files for Apache which mod_wsgi will need when it is being compiled. One can work around the lack of apxs, but if you do not have the correct Apache headers files, you cannot do anything.
