Yup.  I installed the base system (NetBSD 1.5.2) from an ISO
downloaded in December.

Then, I downloaded the pkgsrc tarball this past week.  I've been 
building everything from that.  I grabbed the tarball from the 1.5.2 
tree on the netbsd.org site.

That's how I built apache, php4, OpenSSL, and mysql.  However, it 
apparently didn't build mod_php4.  I can't find a mod_php4.so on my 
system.  So, this morning I figured out that ap-php4 was there to build 
mod_php4.  But when I tried building it I get an error that seems to 
indicate that Apache wasn't build with DSO support.

I guess I need to edit a Makefile or config file and rebuild Apache with 
DSO support.  I'm just not sure which Makefile or config file that would be.

Maybe the order matters.  I could go back and rebuild each in the order you did.

When I do that for Apache there is no mod_ssl.so or mod_php4.so.  I did build 
the OpenSSL package, thinking that would build mod_ssl, but it didn't.  So, I 
see I've got to build ap-php4 and ap-ssl.  But, I'm having trouble with both.

ap-php4 says Apache doesn't have DSO support and ap-ssl says Apache doesn't 
contain Extended API (EAPI).

I checked /usr/pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk, no options regarding DSO 
support or EAPI.  I guess it will have to be for the packages Makefile.

Thanks for your help Andrew.
