some more Qs 1. Is there a list of 3rd party libs that we need to verify against? We currently don't have 64bit OS. We are planning to compile apache on 64bit. 2. Is the assumption that successful compilation of apache means that we are ok with 3rd party libs correct? 3. Is there a stable release of Apache for Red Hat Linux 64bit OS?
