Good Afternoon -

Apache Version:  httpd-2.2.15
Linux Version:  Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) / 
2.6.18-164.el5xen

I'm attempting to compile a version of apache_2 httpd binary that is agnostic 
of the directory it's run from and will look for its configuration files local 
to the binary's run location. (Example:  ./httpd will look for httpd.conf local 
to my run location reguardless of prefix).

At compile time, I'm required to provide a --prefix= directory or configure 
will assume that I want it installed by default in /usr/local/apache.  I've 
tried to compile using --prefix=./ but this fails with " configure: error: 
expected an absolute directory name for --prefix: ."  

I know I can create an alternative directory structure and use the -d and -f 
flags with ./httpd to identify alternate prefix directory and httpd.conf 
locations at runtime but I want to avoid having to pass these variables.

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers-
Sandy
