Hello Jim,
All,

I've some more news on Apache 1.3 on LynxOS.

As you may recall, I had difficulties with Apache's conf.h file. There's a
system header file with the same name that it clashes with.

I tried adding "-I-" to the include list, but then "#include <regex.h>" 
wouldn't work any more. The following patch for Configure adds the
includes with the directive "-idirafter " on LynxOS which has the desired
effect: for #include <...> the system headers are searched first, but an
#include "..." will look into the listed directories first.

With this patch, "make all; make install" works all right. After setting
an existing group in "/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf",
"/usr/local/apache/start" turns the server on.

However, the ultimate solution is, in my opinion to rename conf.h to
httpconf.h. This would be much more defensive.

Thanks,
