You disabled shared libraries in the Python build, and mod_python needs those. At least, that's what it looks like. It appears there is some support for FastCGI and Python (see http://www.fastcgi.com); you might want to give that a try. It could be accomplished without any custom stuff, even: Apache 1.3 from base, www/mod_fastcgi, lang/python and www/py-jonpy should suffice. (Disclaimer: I know very little about Python, and nothing about py-jonpy.) Joachim
