I’m trying to install mod\_ruby per the instructions at  
[http://wiki.modruby.net/en/?InstallGuide](http://wiki.modruby.net/en/?InstallGuide)

When I run make I get a bunch of errors. Here is a small sample but  
there are at least a hundred more lines like this following:

/usr/local/apache2/include/apr\_strings.h:297: error: syntax error  
before â??apr\_off\_tâ??  
/usr/local/apache2/include/apr\_strings.h:313: error: syntax error  
before â??\*â?? token  
/usr/local/apache2/include/apr\_strings.h:349: error: syntax error before  
â??sizeâ??  
mod\_ruby.c:151: warning: missing braces around initializer  
mod\_ruby.c:151: warning: (near initialization for â??ruby\_cmds[0].funcâ??)  
mod\_ruby.c:151: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type  
mod\_ruby.c:153: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

I’m installing to suse 10 on an intel system (32 bit - nothing fancy).  
I’ve had similar problems with fastcgi. What am I doing wrong?
