I think I got the fix for this issue.

Using script 'apxs' supplied with Plesk /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/apxs, I was trying to install mod_evasive on Plesk's admin apache.

To install mod_evasive 'apxs' for system apache is needed, usually it is located in /usr/sbin if httpd-devel package installed on the server. In my case httpd-devel was not installed. I just installed httpd-devel which fixed the issue.

[root@vps mod_evasive] yum install httpd-devel

[root@vps mod_evasive]# which apxs
/usr/sbin/apxs

[root@vps mod_evasive]# /usr/sbin/apxs -cia mod_evasive20.c

[root@vps mod_evasive]# service httpd restart
