Josh, I just figured out it's the #trace option. When I remove that option the errors go away... Thanks, michael -----Original Message----- From: Michael A.

Thanks for that help earlier..

Thanks for the help earlier. I've been able to run ./configure a number of times now.. Stuck at a new place now; involving permissions. In the docs for hobbit, it says to create a custom user, and have that user in its own group. It mentioned that the hobbit user should NOT be a member of any other groups. That's all fine and good, but shouldn't it [the user hobbit] be a member of the apache group, so apache can read the 'hobbit' directories (and write to them)? Right now, I've got a webserver telling me: "You don't have permission to access / on this server." B.
