 Marc,
 
 I followed your advice and re-installed all of the C devel tools that came
 with RedHat and I'm compiling like a champ!!!!! I've got Apache with SSL
 working great.  My big problem now is getting Apache/SSL to properly
 recognize client certs but that's a more complex problem.
 
 Thanks again,
 
 Ed
