Well, I ultimately found the problem by recognizing a pattern. Since the error messages hadn't proved fatal as far as I could see. I just continued to build as required - always keeping a watchful eye. I began to notice what seemed to be ports checking against Apache were emitting errors, where others were not. Then it occurred to me that my problem was self-inflicted. I had made some changes to the Apache source before making && installing. Because the changes were so unique, I bumped the version by a tenth of a point (1.4x). I then remembered all the Apache make conditionals being against 1.3 || 2 - the light went off in my pointy head; the version /I/ installed was != 1.3 || 2, but > 1.3 < 2. D'OH! Well, no harm has /yet/ come of it. The scripts simply emit the error and continue on their merry way. So unless something bombs farther down the road, I'll just accept/expect the errors knowing what they are trying to tell me. :) Thanks again for responding. --Chris > > -- > Stanislav Sedov > ST4096-RIPE >
