Hi, I used the technique described in the FAQ and added env
variables CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to enable configure to find
gdbm which I have in $HOME/{include|lib}

Initially, configure finds gdbm and says selecting -lgdbm
Later in the script it tries to locate gdbm.h
It looks in /usr/local/include  and /opt/local/include and
doesn't seem to look into $HOME/include

env CFLAGS=-I$HOME/include --LDFLAGS=$HOME/lib ./configure 
--with-apache=$HOME/apache

Hope you can assist, Thanks Yusuf
