This is very sad. Sorry, I didn't have much trouble when I installed
from source. But it took me some more time to figure out how to actually
use it. You know, to get the basic concepts...

I don't think that midgard is more complicated an application to install
than, lets say, a window manager. The thing is, that midgard is closely
dependend on well configured other components (apache, mysql and its
client lib...), which is anyway common unix philosophy.
I don't believe much in rpms or binary stuff, for several reasons. So
what exactly went wrong when you tried to compile from scratch?
There are some possible pitfalls. From the postings to this list, I
gradually know some of them. For instance, certain versions of mysql per
default install libmysqlclient to /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
which is hardly found by another configure script. You may not notice
this until you install the first program which requires this lib. Now,
when you try to compile mod_midgard, the error message you get makes you
think that libmidgard is not found, but the real cause is
libmysqlclient.
So which error did you get?
sorry for your trouble,
Frank
