Leave out the Apache options, anything related to modules, etc. Here's what I use to build it as a CGI to run with a non-Apache server (I think this might be PHP3 but you'll get the idea) ./configure --with-gd=/usr/local --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-dbase=yes --enable-sysvshm=yes --enable-sysvsem=yes --with-config-file-path --enable-debug=no --enable-track-vars=yes --enable-bcmath=yes --bindir=/web/webdocs/cgi-bin -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
