Mr. System Administrator Man frowns disapprovingly and does not give me the

I managed, by sticking "-L" and "-I" options in everywhere I could, to
finally bludgeon the thing into compiling. I may have had to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment as well. I was hoping someone knew a way
to trick "configure" into doing all this for me...
I'm trying to do a rough benchmark comparison of Apache 2.0 with your patches
and "Proprietary Web Server X", both running on an 8-processor SGI box.
Any suggestions? I've been running a bunch of perl scripts on people's
desktop boxes, each doing a fetch of a 40k page of static HTML. The two
servers look comparable, but 1) the times are all over the place, seeming to
imply that I'm actually measuring overhead from the desktop machines and not
the server response time, and 2) the cpu utilization on the server never
breaks 2 or 3 percent, for either web server.
thanks and best regards,
