I'm building HEAD of httpd right now, like this:
   $ ./buildconf
   $ ./configure --enable-dav --enable-so --enable-maintainer-mode
   $ make depend
   $ make
   $ make install
The last step fails because /usr/local/apache2/conf is not a
directory, it's a file!  The file appears to be a mod_mime_magic
configuration file or something.
Sander Striker mentioned to me that Greg Ames (I assume that's the
expansion of "gregames", never met him personally :-) ) had made some
changes very recently that might have affected this.
So Greg, are you sure about this change to Makefile.in:
    2002-07-19 10:11  gregames
        * Makefile.in (1.122): Install mime.types and magic in conf/ if
        they don't already exist.
        
        This also re-enables existing logic to always install *-std.conf
        with substitutions made.  These are then copied into *.conf
        (without the -std) if that file doesn't already exist.
        
        style police: please chill for a bit.  I intentionally didn't
        re-format the indenting in this commit to make it easier to review.
The patch is below.  In the added code, it looks like perhaps the
sense of the first `if' test is reversed, though that may be
relatively harmless.  Then I'm not sure about the next `if', but I'd
guess the line
   "$(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir);" 
is being run when it shouldn't.  If "$(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)" does not
exist, then the conf file will itself be copied to that name!

Can anyone else run "make install" with head and get a correct conf/
