I don't know this special case, but extracting a tar-ball archive will usually have a version number in it's path/directory name and this is good.

I suggest you either try this on a test box and check if after the make install there is anything not ok with version names showing up somewhere OR you type ./configure --help and see if there is some --prefix=<somedestinationpathyouspecify> you can use to tell it at which destination it should be installed.

Hi,
What options should I use with ./configure to include mod_dav into the build? I use --enable-dav and I didn't see mod_dav.so anywhere in the build directory. I need to load mod_dav.so as a module during httpd startup.
