Erdmut, Thanks very much for the taking the time to respond. I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately the same error persists. Think I'll just have to skip MM in the mod_ssl install.

Hi, if you don't want to wait until the author of MM has time to look into that issue (he most probably is busy writing other fine software ;) you could try the following workaround: Edit the "configure" script to pretend that the autoconf-test for MM_SHM_MAXSEGSIZE did not fail. To do that, search for the line MM_SHM_MAXSEGSIZE="`cat conftestval`" and change that to set the size you determined from running sysdef MM_SHM_MAXSEGSIZE="1048576" I don't know for sure whether that will work, as I have't tried it actually -- but it should prevent the script from aborting, by substituting the (hopefully correct) value yourself. And if you are lucky, it's only the autoconf test routine that fails, not the actual lib-code at the time it's being used in the application...
