[mod_python] ./configure error

Hey there,

I'm using Ubuntu Dapper Drake (one of the flight releases) and am
having some problems with executing ./configure in the source
directory.

Here's what I'm putting in:

./configure --with-apxs=/srv/apache2/bin/apxs --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.4

This is what I'm getting out:

[snip]

configure: checking whether apxs is available...

./configure: line 3427: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./configure: line 3427: `  as_lineno_3=`(expr $as_lineno_1 + 1) 2>/dev/null`'

Is this a problem my end, or with the configure file?

Thanks for reading.
