I did a little bit more playing around with this. If I put the full path in the bindir variable in the config.layout file (bindir: /usr/local/apache2/bin), I still get the exact same error message. Has anyone ever seen this before? Thanks greatly for any help on this Mike -----Original Message----- From: Reeves, Michael D Civ 517 SMXS/MXDEC [mailto:Michael.Reeves@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 8:20 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Problem with ./configure Apache 2.2.6 Hi, I'm having a problem installing a new webserver. I'm doing the exact same procedure that I've used in the past (v 2.0.55, 2.0.59, and 2.2.4), but it no longer seems to be working. I'm doing a custom layout. I've edited the config.layout file to match what I'd done in the past, copying the format used in that file. I'm using prefix: /usr/local/apache2 exec_prefix: ${prefix} bindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin .... I run the configure script: ./configure --enable-layout=myLayout ....... I get the following error msg: .... configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --bindir: NONE:/bin configure failed for srclib/apr What gives? Is this a bug? This worked perfectly for 2.2.4. If this functionality has been removed then all the stuff in config.layout will fail. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
