I am having some trouble installing mod_perl on my redhat linux 8.0 box. I successfully installed apache 2.0.43 from source and placed it in the /usr/local/apache2 directory. In addition, I downloaded the latest version of mod_perl from cvs. I successfully used the following command to generate the makefile: perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache2 MP_INST_APACHE2=1. Even though the make process was successful the make test process was not. As clear as I can tell from the error message that I listed below, mod_perl is looking for apache components in /home/software/apache_cvs/modperl-2.0/t/conf/httpd .conf which is clearly wrong since my httpd.conf file is in /usr/local/apache2/conf. Here is the error message:
