ok....so I do/loads the gcc1.dsl and ran the ./configure
it seemed ok but when I entered the make command i got the following ;

make
===> src
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dsl/apache_1.3.33'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dsl/apache_1.3.33/src'
Makefile:8: *** missing separator. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dsl/apache_1.3.33/src'
make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dsl/apache_1.3.33'
make: *** [build] Error 2

what is the problem here?
thanks

Missing separator means just that ... missing separator. The ./configure command may have made a mistake when it constructed the Makefile inside the apache_1.3.33/src. This is weird if ./configure did not give you any warning at all since this usually happens when ./configure terminated abnormally.

Another possibility is that there is a mistake inside one of the Makefile.in files. This is usually the case when someone (who does not know what he's doing) tried to manipulate its contents manually, without using the autoconf/automake utilities.

Given that I don't know what i'm doing (background in Music, Phd by Research) I have not altered the contents of any files.
I did notice the line;
awk: htconf.14538.4:21: Unexpected token
during the ./configure, it didn't terminate abnormally.
thanks for your help.

Try installing the gnu-utils.dsl myDSL extension.

It contains the full versions of the GNU utilities like awk, instead of the limited busybox utilities that come with the DSL livecd.
