Has anyone out there tried the apache toolbox? It looks like an
interesting program that asks you what options you want in your apache,
then downloads, compiles and installs your apache server. If it works
as described, it would be a good option to recommend for users with
broken rpms as you describe. It suposedly supports mod_perl, ssl, and
even php all together somehow.
I've never used it, but am planning to give it a shot next time I have
to compile a new server.
