[Mod_gzip] mod_gzip & apache 2 - please help!! urgent!

[MediaHost (TM)]

OK,

I've got the answer....

Go into the httpd-2.0.43/build directory and edit the config_vars.mk file
AFTER you run ./configure

It has there two lines, one for include and one for library files. search
for the string /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib and change them to the
real path to your real zlib directory's. I compiled the 1.1.4 zlib into a
different location.

I compiled mod_gzip by placing it into httpd-2.0.43/modules/filters
directory and editing a few lines at the modules.mk file (You'll see by
yourself...)

After install added the addmodule directive for mod_gzip and.....here we go!

Hope this helps.
