Re: can not install - bad documentation

I'm using version mod_layout-4.0.1a .
I had to modify the MakeFile, because with modification it gives me 
error. Here's the error:

######################################################
Makefile:7: /usr/local/apache2/build/special.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/apache2/build/special.mk'. 
Stop.
#######################################################

However I was able to get around this by modifying the makefile, but I 
got the previos error.

###############################################
libtool: install: `liblayout.la' is not a valid libtool archive
Try `libtool --help --mode=install' for more information.
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536
#####################################################

what I did in this case, I compiled it in stepd. The INSTALL file says use "make install". so I used "make" then "make install".
I added the directive to apache config to load the module, but that's what I got when restarted apache:

mod_layout.so: undefined symbol: create_layout_request

Any idea what's going on ??
