All,
I'm of the realization that FreeBSD is a volunteer project, but there's a
recent issue I've hit, and I've contacted nearly EVERYONE I can think of
about it to try and fix, and the response I've gotten has been a deafening
silence.
I'm having trouble building apache2.2.6, it relates I feel to an
inconsitent libexpat library under FreeBSD, COMBINED with a badly made and
inconsistent apr port, and some libiconv incompatibilities. I've emailed
ports maintainers, APR developers, the general apache mailing list, and
gotten nothing.

This is a post about building apache2.2 from scratch, not from ports --
however it raises several issues with port-installed tools that lead me to
believe they may still be at fault. I apologize in advance for the length
of this post, but having all the data is sometimes important. I believe
it's reproducable but I don't have the spare machines to try on.

3) My big problem:
I just tried to build apache 2.2.6 from scratch.
I, for various reasons of wanting to keep apache separate from other
things, for example, to virtualize my apache users, prefer everything in a
single dir -- so the ports route isn't for me.
You can tell ports where to install something. We used to install
all of Apache in its own directory to make it easy to manipulate
in a system we were installing in a lot of places. Check the ports
doc and such.

Apache2 is a complete piece of crap. "Portable Runtime" my ass. Was
there something so wrong with APACI? Apache1.3 built out of the box on
every system in the world.
Using ports is no better. And again, I'll take anything anyone can offer
to explain half this behavior:

You need autoconf version 2.50 or newer installed
to build APR from SVN.
