Hi All,
It looked like the Debian install problems were back.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp/modperl-2.0$ perl Makefile.PL
************* WARNING *************
Your Perl is configured to link against libgdbm,
but libgdbm.so was not found.
You could just symlink it to /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.1.7.3

I thought this was a bit strange,
look at the path where it is trying to find my apache include dir.
It should be looking in /usr/include/apache2/
Anyway, I do what it says...

Looked at first like I would have to frig the script...
After analysing Build.pm, I noticed it was
using a load of crap data from my old installation in
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.0/Apache/BuildConfig.pm
After deleting this file, i had to delete what i had got from cvs, and redownload.
The second time round I ran into more problems...

Ok, so i specify the MP_AP_PREFIX option, since that was mentioned in the INSTALL file
too.

Ah that problem again...
SOLUTION:
perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/bin/apxs2
All problems went away.
Problems occur in debian if the MP_AP_PREFIX is used because it expects a /include dir
to be present.
but if the MP_APXS option is not used, the MP_AP_PREFIX is one of the tempting
recommendations by the script.
The question here is, should the script have detected /usr/bin/apxs2 ?

I hope the formatting of this email didn't come out too bad.
