Ok here we go,

I'm still relatively new to Linux so hopefully this will be a snap for you all. I have set up apache and tomcat and have read that it is good practice to connect them. From searching around the internet I downloaded jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk-1.2-src-current.tar.gz.

After tar -xvzf'ing it I navigated to the CONNECTOR_HOME/jk/native and went on to use the command:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

I have checked the directory to make sure that there is in fact an apxs file there and there is. However as it compiles I get:

configure: error: You must specify a valid --with-apxs path

I have checked to make sure I have Pearl, which I do, and am right out of ideas.. Please help if you can. Below is the last few lines it spits out at me when I issue the configure command:

need to check for Perl first, apxs depends on it...
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
could not find /usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
configure: error: You must specify a valid --with-apxs path

Thank you all in advance.
