Installation on a Unix workstation evidently requires compiling the Apache source. This has introduced a can (should I say, barrel) of worms--it is nothing less than an abomination to read through the install instructions for a C compiler, say GNU gcc, let alone getting it to work. Is there no concept of a "quick-start" for the makers of this C compiler? After all, I want to administer a web server and do functional, practical things with Apache, not learn C. Can there be an Apache installation on Unix which, like the OS/2 version, is pre-compiled and does not involve the user with C? >How-To-Repeat:
>Fix: A pre-compiled Unix version of Apache. The OS/2 version does not involve using a C compiler and I am very happy about its easy installation and its subsequent performance. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
