got it - installed it - thanks. now:

checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS...
./configure: apxs: command not found
configure: error: Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Either you need to install Perl
or y
ou need to pass the absolute path of apxs by using
--with-apxs=/absolute/path/to
/apxs

I thought this was going to be a problem. Using:

$ find / apxs
yields no results ... (its not at /usr/sbin/apxs either)

I can run ./configure with no flags just fine -> but that looks like I'll
get the cgi version (I'd prefer the dynamic module ...)

Netcraft reports (http://www.netcraft.com/whats/?host=spahr.org ) the cube 2
is running "Apache/1.3.3 Cobalt (Unix) (Red Hat/Linux) PHP/3.0.7" - Apache
1.3.x supports dynamic modules - right?

Sorry for all the hand holding - I'm a bit green at all this ...

James.
