repository, rather than a release distribution, then you
must use the "buildconf" script before running configure.
+ NOTE: If you are building on FreeBSD, you should add the argument
+ --with-mpm=prefork to the configure line. The Apache Group
+ has discovered that threads do not work well with Apache
+ on FreeBSD. For that reason, we disable threads by default
+ on FreeBSD, and you need to build the prefork MPM. If you wish
+ to try to make threads work on FreeBSD, they can be re-enabled
+ by using --enable-threads
