stressed-out badly yesterday, getting apache, libxml and mod_virgule to compile and actually work, under irix (64-bit). it did. then, i asked andrew if i could run it, and he said no, for security reasons, you can't run unreviewed code on samba.org, so i'm starting again -- on a dual-processor aix box (aix.samba.org).

this one is even more fun, because it doesn't even have glib, so i have to have glib, libxml, apache and mod_virgule, all in their own little subdirectory.

argh. gcc 2.8.1 on aix doesn't support shared libraries, according to libtool. argh.

i painted my nails today. and scratched one whilst cleaning (read, total disassembly) my keyboard. its previous owner spilt coffee on it. it's the [original] ms-natural keyboard. the currently available ones, with the tiddly little arrow keys, are dangerous pieces of shit, 'scuse my french. you can't *get* the original keyboards any more, so i have acquired three of them, in three different countries, to make sure i have something to use. don't xxxx about if you have r.s.i, by the way.

so, i probably have to install gcc as well, latest version, or see if i can stop mod_virgule needing shared libraries.
