It's generally recommended that you DO NOT compile *anything* from
source for CentOS or any other RPM-based distro unless you have
absolutely no other option and you know what you're doing.
And under those circumstances you should at least consider rebuilding
a custom RPM with whatever additional functionality you require from
the SRPM so it's still packaged and runs far less risk of breaking the
system.
If you need Apache with SSL support the recommended method would be to
install the 'httpd' and 'mod_ssl' packages and their
dependencies with
the command...
# yum install httpd mod_ssl
or
# yum groupinstall 'Web Server'
The latter of which includes...
Group: Web Server
Required Groups:
Base
Mandatory Packages:
tux
httpd
Default Packages:
mod_python
mod_ssl
distcache
webalizer
system-config-httpd
mod_perl
crypto-utils
httpd-manual
squid
php-ldap
php
Optional Packages
mod_auth_kerb
httpd-suexec
php-pgsql
php-odbc
mod_auth_pgsql
mod_auth_mysql
mod_authz_ldap
php-mysql
There's lots more useful information on the CentOS site and in the Wiki.
