The constant problem on tomcat-dev (and maybe tomcat-user, I don't subscribe to that) is that people keep running into problems with MM. mod_webapp is the only program, AFAIK, where APR is expected to be installed rather than build from the source. On most Unix-based platforms, APR requires MM (included in the APR source/tree), but does not include it in libapr.la - you need to also link against it. The problem is that this is only noted in APRVARS - which isn't installed by APR - it only lives in the source dirs. I kind of think that the only solution to this is to use something similar to apxs - which is strikingly similar to gtk-config et al - and even more "helpful" as it defines your compiler, etc, etc. There just isn't any standard way of specifying external dependencies that APR programs should expect. -- justin
