I downloaded the binary of 1.3.1 - the latest available in binaries - and the docs (INSTALL) told me to run ./configure -prefix etc. Because I'd downloaded the binary release I assumed this procedure was just to compile some small component of Apache and not the entire product which I assumed was already compiled. So the confusion seems to be that you've distributed the normal source releases in your 'binaries' directory. So are you saying that if I download 1.3.4 'source release' then all I have to do is run ./configure -prefix etc? Also, do you happen to know if AIX4.3 is supposed to work or would I be just wasting my time with that. thanks.
