makefile error

[jamuna chandran]

Hi,

Have the following error when trying to makefile:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mod_perl-2.0.1]# perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache2
Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV
   MP_AP_PREFIX = /usr/local/apache2
mod_perl/1.99_09 installation detected... not ok

Cannot install mod_perl/2.0.1 on top of mod_perl/1.99_09
due to a major API change between mod_perl 1.999_21 and 1.999_22.

Conflicting file: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache2.pm
Conflicting dir: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache

Please nuke the prior mod_perl installation from your site_lib,
use a different perl to run the installation process, or use the
PREFIX option when creating your Makefile.  See:

  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html

for more details.

Please advise. Totally fresh. Went through the docs. Didnt make much sense to me. Critical project.

thank you.
