Ariel, this mod is supposed to build with apsx. If it fails, it could 
be because your mysql files are NOT where the mod's config files 
expect them to be.

First off, forgive me if I'm assuming what I shouldn't, but did you 
examine all the files in the bundle? What I do with ALL mods, 
installs and anything that is tarred is download the tar and then use 
an expander program (I use Stuffit) to open it up and LOOK at the 
files. There's always install information in there and you can get a 
real good idea about potential problems by examining config files. In 
my experience, problems with any installation are usually problems in 
the configurations involving WHERE particular files are on the 
machine (the paths). I do this every time: look at where the script 
is expecting a file to be and check to see that this is where it is 
on my machine. If not, I know I'm gonna have to do a --with command 
to that directory at some point in the process. In short, I'm 
prepared for what commands must be used. :-)

In any case, you didn't specify what commands you used for the 
install (especially the --with commands) and we'd probably be able to 
help much more if you would do that.

By the way, if you email the mod's author, specify your set-up 
(including that you're running Apache 1.3.6 on a Raq) and ask him 
what the error means and what do to about it, he may be the best help 
you can find.

But I'm more concerned about the following, frankly.

This may not be a good idea. Recompiling Apache is a challenge on the 
Raq3 and downloading Apache for installation is not something I'd 
recommend either unless you are really experienced AND there's no 
alternative. Even then, it's a huge step to consider.

I'd recommend just going back and emailing the author, the examining 
the distribution files and seeing if you can use what's bundled to 
install the mod and make it work with apsx.

Post what he says here, if you'd like, and see if someone can help out.
