Actually it looks like the problem is exactly that apr-config --cflags etc is *not* exporting the -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 flag; it is used when building APR/httpd, but then is not picked up by mod_perl. So the cause of the problem is exactly the reason why mod_perl can't detect it. :( I'd not be desperately unhappy to make APR 0.9.x refuse to build in this configuration, but it would needlessly annoy those users who *do* know what they're doing at the expense of those who don't. Not sure what's best to do. joe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
