I'm stumped too... I have a sneaky feeling you are mixing up with
mod_ssl (a module added to apache) and Apache-SSL (an SSL-capable
version of apache). I notice you don't mention what version of mod_ssl
you used - did you use it?

- apache + mod_ssl produces a standard "httpd" binary.
- Apache-SSL produces "httpsd" as the binary.

You are not, by any chance, using an apachectl script from Apache-SSL
with a mod_ssl installation?

Anyway, as David Rees advises, please post OS details and what you typed
in each directory before "make"...

Rgds,

Owen Boyle.
