Re: Problems starting Apache 2.2 with mod_ruby

I should have added that I configured mod_ruby in the following manner:

./configure.rb --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

I also posted the other day the data structure with the initializer,  
and have been over it and can't seem to find out what the compiler is  
complaining about.

See further inline comments...

Have looked into doing this, but can't seem to find anything wrong in  
the struct, or the initializer.  Again, I may have missed something.   
My changes to the code and the patch posted Bence a few days ago  
neither touch this structure initializer.

Did this as per the build instructions.
