trying to install frontpage extensions

While trying to install the frontpage extensions on Apache I
got:

Hunk #7 FAILED at 1251.

When I issued the command:

patch -p0 < ../mod_frontpage-1.5.1-1.3.17/patch-1.5.1-1.3.17

Here is the detail of the file:

basis:/usr/src/apache_1.3.29 # more configure.rej

eval "$var=\"$val\""

My patch program is up to date:

# patch --version
patch 2.5.4

This is what I am running:
Welcome to SuSE Linux 8.0 (i386) - Kernel 2.4.18-4GB (0).

Ideas? Thanks!

the patch is probably for an older version of apache and doesn't fit
out of the box for 1.3.29. it needs to be adapted slightly. ask
whoever supplied the patch to update it or try yourself.

hint: lines 1112-1118 in the configure script now read as follows:

for var in prefix exec_prefix bindir sbindir libexecdir mandir \
sysconfdir datadir iconsdir htdocsdir manualdir cgidir \
includedir localstatedir runtimedir logfiledir \
proxycachedir suexec_docroot suexec_logexec ; do
eval "val=\"\$$var\"";
val=`echo $val | sed -e 's:\(.\)/*$:\1:'`
eval "$var=\"$val\""

so you probably want

- proxycachedir suexec_docroot suexec_logexec ; do
+ proxycachedir suexec_docroot suexec_logexec \
+ fpexec_docroot fpexec_logexec fpexec_fpdir ; do

or so...

also the fp-patch for apache is quite a problem from a security point
of view (who would have thought sth else about software designed by
mickeysoft?). read

for some info on the security impact.
