well i don't have /etc/apache2/envvars, perhaps a distro thing?
i had tried the export thing, but embarassingly it seems i ran it in one 
terminal and the compile in another! so of course it failed, prompted by you 
to try again it seems the env variable is picked up, now i have more problems 
with missing modules but that's another post

thanks
