Trying this again, hopefully that last one didn't go out (it was content
free).
I've seen this many times. Part of the problem is that apache's configure
script won't pass --verbose to it's helper scripts which only leaves you
clueless as to what's happening.
If you go into the src directory and and run the following:
$ ./helpers/TestCompile -v sanity
you'll see the reason why it won't compile. 9 times out of 10 it's caused
by a header file in the wrong place - or apache not knowing where it is.
I don't recall what I did to fix it, but it was probably something like
copying the file to a standard directory or creating a symlink.
