Usually (mainly other gnu-autoconf kits) it's sufficient to do a "configure --prefix=/usr/local ..." followed my a "make" and then a "make install prefix=/Packages/Linux-ix86/apache-1.3.4", however the Apache-kit ignores the "prefix=.." in the "make install .." command, and trying to use "configure --prefix=/Packages/Linux-ix86/apache-1.3.4 --exec-prefix=/usr/local" results in some of the stuff (mainly the support-tools) going directly to /usr/local, while the rest goes where it's supposed to go. The problem is compounded by the fact that the /usr/local hierarchy is strictly maintained by cmu-depot, which means that stuff that hasn't been added by cmu-depot simply gets deleted. Not a serious problem, but definately an annoying one (to me at least ;-) ) >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
