Yeah, that's actually the main reason I don't build my own versions
anymore - it seems like there is a new version of apache out all the
time, and I got tired of running through all the steps to compile imap,
php, ssl, etc into the apache source to compile.  And then, when new
versions would surface, I'd always run into a compile error every now
and then.  So, I found it much easier to download the rpm's, especially
when working with more than 5 servers at one time.  Now, I just need to
do more research and pay more attention to what versions are the latest,
according to my vendor of choice, Red Hat.
