Hello there!

I'm trying to build httpd from source code using custom layout.config but 
whenever I run ./configure script it returns the following error message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/pkg-area/src/httpd-2.2.8 % ./configure

config.layout looks like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/pkg-area/src/httpd-2.2.8 % cat config.layout
<Layout Slackware22>
    prefix:        /usr
    exec_prefix:   /usr
    bindir:        /usr/bin
    sbindir:       /usr/sbin
    libdir:        /usr/lib
    libexecdir:    /usr/libexec
    mandir:        /usr/share/man
    sysconfdir:    /etc/httpd
    datadir:       /var/www
    installbuilddir: /var/www/build

    localstatedir: /var
    runtimedir:    /var/run
    logfiledir:    /var/log
    proxycachedir: /var/cache/apache2/proxy
</Layout>

I tried apache versions 2.2.8, 2.2.9, 2.0.63 and each time configure returns 
exactly the same error message.

1.3.41 accepts --with-layout=LAYOUT option, though.

I'm relatively new to building apache from source code so I believe there's 
just a catch I don't know about (and can't actually figure out on my own 
using Google).

I attempt to build httpd on Slackware 11 system if that matters.
