and this is still not ganglia problem.
1. apr: if you really require 0.9.7 a configure check can enforce it.
2. libconfuse: if someone wants to provide a package for ganglia, they
are for sure capable to provide a libconfuse rpm aswell. especially
since it it deadsimple to package (anyone interested in a spec file
for it?)
coming from a few years of using/supporting svn i can tell you that
there should be at least an option to say --with-$lib=/usr so it will
use the system wide copy.
