At least on my computer, changing the above line to

    usr lib ('/Full/path/to/lib')

solves the problem.

Additionally, since Apache has an in-built mechanism for accounting
for the missing trailing slash, the following recommended

    ProxyPass /app/ http://application/app

has to be changed to

    ProxyPass /app http://application/app

(note the missing trailing / after '/app')
