:State-Changed-Why:
:No, we really don't want to provide it any more for two reasons.
:First, it is very restricted and there are a lot more databases
:than msql.  Second, there is on one around to maintain it or
:support it and it is really an outside thing.
:
:It sounds like you are trying to link an old .o file with
:a new binary.  Try removing mod_auth_msql.o before
:compiling.

If I try compiling it without the msql module it compiles fine. But I DO
need that module as I'm sure everyone else using msql does.
I downloaded the source (.c) file for mod_auth_msql not the .o file and I
let the compiler create the object file along with all the other objects.
What it complains about is the msql .a files in .../msql/lib which are
linked with the -l option and yes it does complain about it (them) being
older.

Obviously, if I can't compile with the msql module, I'd have to forget about
using Apache's newer versions altogether. Although I don't suppose that
concerns the Apache group given its overwhelming edge over others in  the
number of installed web servers.

Moving from msql to another db is a lot more costly and time-consuming.
