You can ignore this errors and force installation unless your DB backend
is postgresql.

I think this module uses libexpat, even if you have this lib you should
also have devel rpm installed.

Looks like you are going to use Pg. Install pg-devel(I don't know
correct name of the package you need), I think pg_config is there.
After you will install DBD::Pg try again Apache::Session to be sure that
tests success.

Download tarball from CPAN, run 'perl Makefiel.PL && make && make test'
as non root user, 'make install' as root. You may be need to specify
APXS utility path, see README shipped with tarball.
