Silly question about flood and APR...

building on a Slackware 8.0 machine, downloaded all the stuff (flood, apr,
apr-util), can't seem to get it to configure properly- errors out with:

checking for APR... reconfig
configure: error: flood requires a libtool-enabled APR.

Any ideas on why it should do this? I've gone into the apr/ and apr-util/
directories, run buildconf and configure in both of them, all with the
same results. Help!

If you get the absolute latest APR and flood and rerun buildconf,
this problem should be fixed.  I reworked how APR handles its
installation of libtool.

Please let us know if you have any further problems.  

Thanks!  -- justin

Oops, yeah, that's a bug in our build system.  I do plan on cleaning
that up.  The issue is that APR doesn't install its libtool.  If you
are using the ./apr layout (i.e. build apr in place), you can apply
the following patch.  I hope this helps.  -- justin

I'm not exactly sure why it would do that, but you might try configuring
and compiling apr/apr-util before running flood's configure. If you're
still having problems after that I can look into it more.
